Pump runs for the 3 seconds regardless of temp when the key kicks in,
but from about 25 degrees down to 10 F, it gradually takes longer to
start and below 10 degrees, it' rarely will start.  Wind chill makes
no difference(and it shouldn't).  The symptoms are such that the
motor will cough like it's getting spark and fuel(not sure if too
much or not enough) and the colder it is, the more elapsed time
occurs between each cough.  The longer the starter grinds, eventually
the coughs get more frequent and eventually it will start.  The
killer in all this is that I have roll started this thing(when
there's adequate gradient in the road(to deal with the stiff tranny
grease and stiff wheel bearing grease) and adequate traction when the
clutch pops, it starts right up.

I have not put the Heet in the tank as I have been told by many folks
that the Gasahol type gas already has the alcohol in there and
doesn't need gas line antifreeze additives. I assume the water if
it's there, is coming in from the gas station.
