Doug, I thought of you when I was walking out to get the Post this morning. It was 23 degrees. I guess your car started up ok.

Started fine. The choke helps for the initial firing of the engine, but it idles better with the choke off (which seems strange to me - why is this?) Although I nearly asphyxiated myself letting it warm up a bit more than usual in my 1 car garage......ended up pulling it out so the neighbors could enjoy the sound of my engine at 6:45am.
