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!

When I lived in Chicago I tried to start my 816 when the garage was -25. Applied full choke and hit the switch and it fired right up. I did not have a battery charger on the battery either so the battery was at greatly reduced capacity. That engine still continues to start and run no matter what the weather is like.

Code:

                              [U]Current Inventory[/U]
   24G (Onan 24hp)    24GLX - was 16G  (Onan 24hp)   8249 - was 8129 (Onan 24hp)
        818T (Onan 18hp B48)       8163T - was 8123 (Onan CCKA) 
                              8183T (Onan B48)
