I assume that running the needle IN is to make LEAN? There's not much heat available initially, so that seems like bad advice. I've run carbureted engines at -20 with nothing like that. Did Joe say warm the fuel, or warm the air?? Sounds really hokey!!!

In cold weather below 50 deg or so the thing runs so rich that it fouls the plugs so bad that I need to give up for a couple hrs or so. I've run the needle in all the way and things don't get any better, so I emailed Joe at Revmaster and he suggested a heat box for the carb to warm the fuel as it enters the intake. Now I'm sure he is not talking about using carb heat as I have that, ( is there some elec device )plus that would be ineffective for 10 min or so till the motor warms up. Anybody know what Joe was referring to?? Joe seemed to think that due to the lower temps the fuel was not vaporizing properly. I've turned wrenches for the 1st 20 yrs of my career and never had a problem like this w cars or cycles. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
