The Colder It Gets The Faster It Goes?

Yes carharts all though said to say i maybe done riding for the year winter strom warnings today 4 to 12 inchs of snow!!! THIS IS NORTHERN MICHIGAN JUST have to fire up the ski doo it loves cold air too!!!
 
"colder air is denser" Right on Denny! I'm no expert but I'd run it a little richer in cold weather also..... The gas and especially the oil w/our 2 stks tends to gel up... You want that good stuff in the chamber!!! Lubrication is important for you younger guy's...

Especially if your gonna run that thing hard when it's cold... Take it from your Brother in Buffalo!

Yeah, sometimes it gets so *dense* here that you have to shovel it into the engine. :giggle:
 
We're under the gun of a major storm right now. Under 30 degrees w/60+mph winds and gobs of Lake effect snow!

Yeah, talked to friends in Minnesota earlier. Looks like there is bad weather all the way across the US. :sick:
 
She said; "Can you get the snow blower going today" "I'll get it going in the morning" I said.

BBL, we have about 6" and it's turning to rain. LOL
 
SNow this morning in boston, turned to rain thank god. As much as I love to see the college kids falling down I hate fighting them for the last remaining spots in the snow.
 
You could make some kind of scoop! If you are willing to modify the existing box, you could cut the righ side out of the filter box and mount a metal plate to the cover, bent at an angle to scoop air into the box. I would try it on a spare one first. And if its really cold where you live, this may bring water/moisture into your box or over cool your intake causing sputtering or erratic running.

I plan on making a homemade filter box as the next upgrade.

too bad the intake is on the wrong side for a "ram air" effect, I guess it's like that for easy solution in dumping the exhaust.
 
Well poo! What do you do if it gels up?

In diesel trucks, we add gasoline to the diesel (maybe 1 gallon per 100 gallons of diesel) to free up gelled fuel.

this is a gas mix already, so what can you do? blow on your carb with a hairdryer in lieu of a glow plug (a glow plug would probably blow up a gas motor haha) ?
