Heat guns arent that costly and are a good thing to have. I bet even if your dad bought one for you, he'd find himself using it too. Around me it's been below 30 pretty much every day. My buggy sits in my room and even at room temps can still be a pain to start. I use the wifes hair dryer and it'll get temps close to 200. Probably take a good 3-4minutes but she'll get up there. Then its easy to fire off. Once you get her started leave the glow ignitor on for at least 1 minute. The engine temps will go up and all should be fine after that. Take you HSN out 2 3/4 from closed, temps should maintain around 220-235. If she still stalls your LSN may be too rich also and you want to turn it in 1/8 turn.
