Good eye, Gary! No, it was over
100 degrees here in South Carolina a month ago, so that was definitely an error on my part. I just changed my original post. It got near zero degrees last winter though, and I really thought my truck would not start up as well as it did. This is my first and only carbureted vehicle as well, and all I used to ever hear about is how difficult carbureted vehicles are to start in cold weather. With my hot air choke set correctly and thermostatic air cleaner in place, cold starts are not a problem at all for my truck.
