Re: No snow lets go
The UK is snowbound and freezing, my Lombardini motor needs a squirt of wd40 to wake it up in the morning, if you leave it idling cold then it 8 strokes and blows white smoke rings.
It will start right down to minus 8, after this the oil gets too thick for kick starting.

Re: No snow lets go
I must be to acclimatised to hot weather, when it gets down to 1C I tend to retreat inside, the hot climate has been to kind it seems ..............

I've seen some recent photo's of the U.K Dave ............ eeeekkkk "minus 8" that is cold.
Have to say them L100's tend to start really well when it is cold, it does get down to freezing here, sometimes the Enfield will start first kick, sometimes I run the engine over a few times then kick it.
