Do any of you have problems getting your gene to start when it is 4 degrees outside?

If your dog is fat, you are not getting enough exercise! -
Lisa that is 1 thing I haven't had problems with in the cold weather. -
Mine is really slow to turn over when it's that cold, but eventually it does. It likes the cold about as much as I do!Comment

Are you priming the generator first according to the directions so it has some oil up in it when you start it?Comment

Oil/temp
There is a chart provided by the gen manufacturers which informs you what oil viscosity to use at what temperature range so it does not becme too thick when it is real cold out.Too thick no oil preasure, no preasure it will shut off after a few seconds.It also puts a big strain on the starter. You might want to consult your gen mechanic on wether or not your oil was ment for this type of cold before you eat up starters or get stranded with a gen that wont stay running.
A slow to turn over engine sounds like the oil is too thick might be reaching border line to thick for super cold.

It sometimes takes a moment longer than usual but no problems. If ever I do have problems it's the very hot weather, and even then it's been pretty good. I should hit 3,000 on it hours tomorrow and it's been (knock wood) pretty reliable.Comment
