Hello to everyone, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)
Well merely conjecture, but the few times I have encountered cold weather, I have had odd operation out of my car, in some way or other....... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) I was just in Marble Canyon, Arizona for some fishing and it was cold there, got down to about twenty degrees F. I went out in the morning to pop the front trunk to retrive Laurie's "cold weather gear" and at first it would not function. I had just recently adjusted it and it is "set up" just right. I found that if I pulled and held the cable for a moment, it would function fine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) I also had my speedometer make a "really cool grinding noise" during our twenty minute drive down to the Colorado River in the morning, but, once it was time to leave and nearly fourty degrees warmer, it functioned fine. Well my question is what are some common "cold weather maladies" some of you must endure with your teener? I do realize many are put away for winter. What is the coldest weather you have ever operated your teener in? John (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) P.S. If one had no impeller fan running on a MOVING type four car, and it were cold enough, could it ever be cold enough to operate the car without damaging the engine? How cold? |

I think I finally have the tune right on these carbs. It started right up, the Pertronix makes all the difference (thx AA). The cold starting issues I have had were all "points based", as I look back, I am nearly certain. That is what Brad Mayeur had suggested from the first, P-O-I-N-T-S.
