Isn't that bad at 24* F this morning. Three pulls and we were off and away. I was talking with someone about how I didn't like the batteries and such of the electric start and how I prefer the K.I.S.S. principle. They mentioned when it was cold it's a different story... well I had to find out!

Started my Li this morning in Southern Maine with a pull strap. Took three pulls. It was 11*F outside. The Li is garaged and the temp in there was 20*. This tractor has also always been a one pull tractor. I was a little disappointed at three pulls but still glad she ran. Also it had been about a month since she had been started so go figure! The design is remarkably simple and reliable but not for the faint of heart! I will be using this for a snow blower until I can get my 5260 back together.
