Went flying yesterday. Was cold, but not that cold. ~32 degrees.
Went through my normal starting ritual, and nuttin'. So, I give her another shot of prime. She pooted a time or two. I gave her another shot, and left the primer out, turned it over, and "poot", I gave it the shot while turning over, and finally fired enough to keep firing, and up and running. Wow!
I'd never had this much trouble starting, even in colder temps. Once running, it ran just fine. I let it warm up good before heading out.
