I've got a 300u converted to 12v. When it gets cold here in Michigan--like now--she doesn't like to fire too well. She turns over, but won't fire. I was talking to some mechanic friends who have an old Cub and said they had the same problem. They told me the updraft manifold in very cold weather doesn't pull the fuel up to the cylinders because of the cold. They suggested throwing some hot water on the manifold then crank. Much to my surprise it worked pretty well!! Any comments from anybody out there?? Will this hurt anything?? Or is there a better suggestion?? I keep reading about all the M's and H's starting in the cold. Do they have a similar setup with the updraft manifold or am I having an isolated problem?? Thanks for any input.
