Cold Weather Blues

Want to aggravate the cold weather start ? Mount your engine inverted. :D It's a real problem to get the fuel up into the crankcase and atomized for starting. I have to flip the plane upside down...

Props

MHawker,
I feel pretty sure leaning the low end will put you flying the way you want to. Glad you discovered the loose pins. That could have been real bad. :mad:
