Cold Weather Starting

[Rokieboater]

As the title says, I need some suggestions for starting these boats in cold weather, +/- 50 degrees.

Let me know any tricks of the trade. I have heard lighter fluid or maybe ether. Not sure if either one works.

Thanks,

Robert Holland

Lighter Fluid works!

Lighter Fluid is the safest. You can add prope. oxide to your fuel package, but that is not exactly safe to store or come into contact with. Not sure about messing with ether... h34r:

3% gasoline in cold weather also helps. I have run this in 35 degree weather.
