Funny. Last night I was thinking about starting as I put in stabilizer a few days ago. I’m in Syracuse NY and today started at -7 F. I measured the voltage first- 6.39 so figured good. Turned the key and it was fairly strong and with the choke fired up. I did have to feather the choke for about a minute or two and it stabilized (similar to when I fired up my MG Midget in the winter years ago). Let it run at least ten minutes to ensure all fluids warmed up, and generator recharged the battery.
