Went out to drag a dead sled off the trailer this mornin and it wouldnt start. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]



Course it's friggin -53f this mornin so I dont blame it. lol

 

I remember reading in Snowmobile Magazine that gasoline will not combust in a piston engine @ -50F and a snowmobile or atv will not start at this temperature

 

What can you do in that temperature anyways? I'd probably have ten children, as a result of sharing body heat with my wife. As for the quad, I think you can forgive it.

 

if you only would have heated your block it would have been fine! i'll tell you what you do.

get an electric blanket, make your sportsman happy.

 

how could you even ride in that kinda temps wow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

i would just look out the window and say,damn i cant wait until spring. lol.

 

-50 degrees. I thought "how can it get that cold" then i did i quick search.
Heres a little trivia for those interested.

"Vostok station (Russian) NEW RECORD SET IN 1997!!! This is an unconfirmed report from Vostok Station during the winter of 1997. -91 °C (-132 °F) This is colder than Dry Ice! The "official"record is also from Vostok station on July 21, 1983 -89.2 °C (-128.6 °F)

 

I actually only had to turn on the space heater in the shed for about 20 mins and she started fine. I thought about a block heater but when it's cold I like to warm up as much of the machine as possible before I ride. My next purchse will be a heated seat though lol.
