I think that AeroShell 15-50 is a big help if you still have 50 wt oil in it. I had to jump mine yesterday morning when it was 28 F and I didn't preheat more than 5 minutes. I still have W100 in mine or it would have started. I guess it is time to get it change over for winter fun. -------- Paul Spackman Q-2 Jabiru 3300 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=268461#268461 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:29:29 PM PST US From: Keith Pickford Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: cold weather starting Had a similar problem - changed the idle jet - I think it was a 35 and I pu t in a 45.

(Giving your location, and or a temperature at which it won't start might help somebody solve the issue) I have an Odyssey 680...(what is yours?)...and it starts every time. I've left it out for a couple of hours after flying somewhere....temp in the 10-20 degree F. above zero range...and it starts every time.

I know you don't have a Rotax, but the video will answer all your questions and then some. Also close the gap down on your plugs and it will help greatly, but first heat the engine, but watch the video it is an eye opener. http://www.rotax-owner.com/reviews/reviews.htm -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
