in terms of winter starting, have you considered keeping the vehicle in a garage?
That's a great idea for anyone with the space

....well....personally, I would MAKE space....sure beats spending all day trying to start it.....That's a great idea for anyone with the space
32f mornings have not given it more then a moments pause. It's those below zero days parked for hours away from the grid.......well....personally, I would MAKE space....sure beats spending all day trying to start it.....
I prefer not to do this, but I do expect them to start down to about -20F without being plugged in. I always use the 5W-40 oil in winter, and that helps them stand up to the abuse, lets them turn over faster and brings the oil pressure up quicker.32f mornings have not given it more then a moments pause.

Did you mean that you had seen some of the mechanical cold start advance rigs on some of these? I'm wondering where i could get my hands on one like shown in the image in my above post.I have seen some rotory style db pumps on large 4cylinder residential house back up generators. They even say stanadyn on them. But as far as how useful they are I am unaware
Let me back and explain that further, lets establish a few things.
I can operate just the throttle with no pump rotation but just 5 psi inlet pressure to return the piston to the advanced position and see timing movement with the throttle actuation, same with it at cranking speeds. The transfer pressure side is your return spring and the lla side is the mechanical actuator.
