Default Hyper 7 - Sub Zero Weather

Hi,

I am in Mongolia and the weather now averages -10 C to -40C. I took my Hyper 7 out the other day (-12 Celsius or about 10 Fahrenheit). I’ve taken necessary precaution - tuning it rich and putting aluminium foil over the head to keep the engine temperature maintained at a minimum of 70 Celsius (160 Fahrenheit). The engine was running fine but the problem occurred after about 5 minutes when the clutch did not want to disengage. The engine revved fine but the car was not moving. Has anyone else experienced this problem in cold weather? Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
