Default Re: cold weather start

Winter of 60-61 in Michigan, I removed the starter motor and took it into the house at night. Oil film on bendix would prevent gear from spinning down shaft when real cold. Really cold fingers in the morning on the snowy driveway reinstalling starter, dropping bolts in the snow, deciding two bolts was plenty, doing what it took so I could drive to school! Don't recall temp, but it was COLD. Cardboard in front of radiator too.
