Finding out that it don't want to start as good as the old VP in colder weather.
Wondering what would be the best timing for winter time?
Currently @ 16 and that's with my light.
Also would lowering the pop pressure help out any?
Grid heater is working also!
Thanks, Keith
 
Mine starts up rediculously easy in weather about 0C with 23 degrees timing. I might go fire it up tomorrow for ****s and giggles to see how it does with one battery. Its only supposed to be -8 though.
 
I let mine sit for a day at 32* no grid heater + 24* of timing made for a crappy start for me.
 
timed at 30* on a light, 550+ cc's of fuel, no grid heater, no block heater, one battery, it was 28 degrees friday morning and i started my truck. it was slow to crank on the first 2 attempts, on the 3rd try, it took about 15 seconds of cranking and it started with a little pedal. will say it poured enough white smoke i was worried the neighbors might call the fire department tho.

last year with VP44 pop-offs i had a harder time starting it at 25* timing on a 30-40 degree day.
