Those Perkins engines don't seem to all be the same. The original in my 1850 started hard when it was cold. I put one out of a White 8700 combine in it and it starts in great shape down to 20F with just the manifold heater. My 2-105 is somewhere in between. It has the thermostart manifold heater that ignites fuel in the manifold instead of having a 12 volt electric heating coil in the manifold. I started it this morning at about 28F using the thermostart and it fired right up,but much colder than that,it's best to plug in the block heater. I don't know why that thermostart doesn't work as well as the one on my 1365. I've started that one down as cold as -18F using the thermostart only.
There should be a black rubber button next to the key in yours. That's the manifold heater. I don't know if yours would have the electric coil or the thermostart without seeing it. Try holding that button down for 45-50 seconds and then try to start it. Don't use starting fluid after you hold that button down!
As far as the fuel tank,fill the top one. Mine doesn't have the lower tank. My 2-135 does,but it doesn't have a cap on the bottom tank,only on the top and it runs down to the lower through a good sized hose. Your non vented cap goes up on top on the main tank,and the vented cap goes on the auxiliary tank according to the manual. Vacuum from the engine draws fuel from the lower tank to the upper.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
