    Starting a cold kicker

    [quote= The temperature was in the 20's. He said after priming, and with the choke and throttle wide open, he got it to start after the 6th or 7th "manly pull".

    Starting a cold kicker

    Well, yes. Three aspirins aren't good for you either but it sure gets rid of the headache! It takes only a small amount of vapor to get that first pop. I agree continual use can damage an engine. I've not had any hand start engines that were very cooperative below 20 degrees.
