Default RE: new feul, engine stalls

A new ABC engine and cold weather is not a good combination. The engine needs to heat up so the sleeve will expand (part of the technology of ABC). If you don't get this heat then the piston will wear the sleeve and damage will occur very quickly. You can put some aluminum foil over the fins to keep it from cooling too quickly. Running engines inside is not a good idea even for a little while. Get the engine warm by keeping it inside and let it come up to room temperature. Go outside and immediately start the engine. Make sure the igniter is fully charged.
