snopro31 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 My 800 etec was a pain in the fucking ass to start when it was -24 or colder. Almost impossible at -30. Didn't even bother when it was that cold. Now my 900 ace just starts right up at -35 after sitting a weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
