Re: Cold Weather Operation
Wisconsin- put mine to sleep in the Winter, usually end of October, out in the spring 1st part of April. Is put away due to tons of salt used on the roads. Do run antifreeze and a 160 degree thermostat in summer and switch to 180 degree thermostat in late fall. Do not have a manifold heater since it would only be used for such a short time. But even then sometimes late in the season the coolant temp does not come up unless it is around town. No problems starting even in below freezing, 2 compressions of choke, release choke and fires right off. What is affected cold is shifting, lots of light grinding due to cold gearbox lube temps.
