22F or -5.5C startup in Florida
She sounded better than I remembered...
I just get in and start her and drive away...
never get out and walk around....

do not think that link works...

 

that link leads to a weird trippy gif

Mine took a second to first start this morning (Tallahassee) but when I was leaving school she turned over immediately

 

Had to right click and save as... then open with media player....

Mine started right up after turning over a sec or two, maybe 2.5sec

 

mine likes to change based on how much i fiddle with the peddle. Supposedly pressing the pedal down after turning on the ignition give it an extra boost of fuel, idk.

I usually pump it a few times like its a carb or I try to start it and then try a second time, in both instances it will usually crank over as easily as my little moris traveller

 

mine started fine here in Florida in22 f weather I just wanted to share a video of how nice it sounded...

 

Here in Ontario......Canada not California it's -18C and she turns over a little slow, about 10 sec, I don't touch the gas and it starts every time. I run 20w50 oil for the high mileage engine, that is likely hard on cold day starts
1990 V12 125,000 KM

 

I run with 20w50 also I have 157535 KLM on it or 98777 miles

 

I like that it keeps the pressure up to a more reassuring psi, even when it's hot

 

If you can find it the 0w-40 or 0w50 is sweet for cold weather startups

 

I have maybe less than a handful of startups below 35 F in a year...

 

yeah in north florida mine seems to like 20w-50 as well.

I bet in the summer I could run gear oil in it lol
