OK, So I just got back from the chilly frozen lake quite dissapointed.

It was too windy to fly, but I would still have liked to get the engine tuned for the lake. I managed to get it started a few times, but due to improper tuning, it died. Unfortunately, I could not get it started again to get the proper tune. I was thinking that the fuel might have gotten too cold, or the carb got blocked off.

how would cold effect the engine, and what are good ways to avoid it?
