Cold weather starting

[Tchap]

Only if it’ll start. Seriously, though, yes I intend to ride when it gets that cold. I’ve ridden snowmobiles in those temperatures, up on Jay Peak (Vermont), when I had a job snowmaking. One of the best jobs I’ve ever had. It’s pretty amazing to be on a snow covered mountaintop at midnight! Sometimes we carried ice axes. For riding the donkey, I’m wearing a Klim onsie over lots and lots of down, heated liners over Outdoor Research mitts, two balaclavas at once, and obviously no exposed skin anywhere.

Wait, the liners go Under the mitts.

Wait, the liners go Under the mitts.

Oh, and that’s “onesie”

I didn't think starting fluid would help on a FI engine that wasn't worn out? Won't the injectors vaporize the fuel even in cold conditions?

Starting fluid is a big boost being so volatile, it's not the amount it's the combustible vapor which is more potent than gasoline. Carburetor or injection doesn't matter in this case
