cold diesel fuel?

Posted by clanger on February 26, 2004 at 08:26:52 from (80.176.149.33):

Started my 484 this morning and let it stand for about 5 mins running at about 1100rpm. When I came back to it the engine was down on power and the revs where surging up and down but it never quit.
I thought it was possibly because the tap on one half of the [saddle] fuel tank was shut, but there was plenty in the other half anyway. I opened the other tap anyway but it didn't seem to make any difference.
About 3 or 4 mins later it suddenly cleared up and has been normal ever since.
The temp here in the UK got down to a meagre -4C last night - could that have been the cause? My fuel is not treated in any way.
