HI
BEEN told that lighter fluid works well to start an engine in the cold weather ( car , spray starter fluid might help ) i only fly in 50 degree or better weather i have had lighter fluid with me ,but never had a need to use it as my engines always have started just fine at those temps BEST REGARDS TONY
This is siomething we used to do when hand starting glow engines in cold weather.

I've never needed to do this with a gas engine.
