| I went through the cold weather blues, Montana-style, and I found that
cranking speed seems to be the critical thing for me. If the battery is warm and charged, it'll turn over enough to catch. If it is going to be below 10 degrees or so, I'll pull the battery and keep it in the garage. A little bit of a pain, but it works.
I tried the magnetic heaters, putting two on the pan, but if the battery was cold, they didn't seem to do enough to matter.
I think a coolant heater, either the 110V plug-in, or the diesel-fired style is the ultimate solution, but I haven't done that as yet. |
