The concept of it being -10C and completely clear just fucks with my brain. Especially at midday. I've only ever been in -10C once and gently caress that poo poo.

That's the midwest.

The clear days, and especially the clear nights are the bad ones. Means there's nothing to keep the heat in, so the sunlight just bounces off the snow and all the day's heat bleeds off into the sky. It gets colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra.

I've been running the heat when the house hits 65, and not going outside because it's in the 50s.

All three people who came to buy parts today had hoodies or carhart jackets on.

SoCal is spoiled.

It's almost as though people in different climates adapt physically to those climates! Like it's not actually just about being "tough" or whatever, it's your body actually changing how it manages blood flow and making metabolic changes to improve performance and comfort within different temperature ranges.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Midwest winters suck. As a kid, we had a two week period where the temperature didn't get above 0-F. Highs, if I remember correctly, hit -2 one day. I had to deliver newspapers in -40 (the one place where C and F are the same) weather with windchills nearing -70. You'd learn to hate starry nights in the winter because they invariably suck.

Stay warm, dammit, and fire up that engine!

Do you have a block heater on that fucker? I assume it wouldn't hurt to have warmer oil when you're trying to start it.

I'd wager bad gas. Did you put some fresh stuff in? Cause that stuff in the tank has been sitting exposed for what, like 4 or 5 weeks now?

Gas doesn't go bad that fast. My money is on firing order or timing.

It does when its sat open in a field through multiple snow storms.

I tried putting fresh gas in but I'm gonna drain what's in there and put more in and recheck plug order

Starting fluid is an iffy bet. If the timing is way off or plugs are out of order, it could blow the intake off.



It might not hurt, however, just a dab 'll do ya.

Just loosen some of the jubilee clips on the intake pipework and then give it some starting fluid. If it pops back it will just blow the pipework apart at the loose joint (or just take the intake pipe off and just let it run open briefly)


Before my land rover would start on petrol for the first time I had to kick it over it on starter fluid a few times before it seemed like the injectors managed to get themselves firing properly and free of any airlocks enough to fire.

Yeah, I wasn't saying to choke it out, just try to neutralize any old gas on the first suck.
