Here is my check list: (1) Make sure that the carburetor risers are clean (2) Clean and adjust your choke (3) Insure that the temperature control is working (the bellows underneath the engine that controls the cooling flaps) (4) Use the recommended oil viscosity for winter use (5) Check the heater boxes and channels, I have had many bugs and when the system is in order the car will keep you warm enough where you need to open the window in the winter. (6) RainX on the windshield (7) New windshield wipers
I will not make oil recommendations other than what I believe some experts have already stated as they have done testing regarding oil and our air cooled engines and transmissions: aircooledtechnology, lnengineering, aircooled.net, lowbudget.com, geneberg On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 2:21 PM, Kyle <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm in Central Indiana. > > We're looking at a bad winter here.
