Fuel Mixture Cold weather

Will cold weather have an effect on CHINA girl jetting,and if so how?

Makes it run leaner so you'll want to jet a bit richer.

Ok how will I know if it's running lean? Because it four stroked a bit in worm weather?

Well if it was doing that in the summer then your jet may actually be spot on for the cold Temps. Good too since 4ting in the summer keeps the engine cool enough, meanwhile you got the air to do that for you in the winter so a tiny bit lean wouldn't even be an issue.

I suggest just riding out the storm till you notice if it's too hot or not. Plug checks are going to be the most definitive way, at least they are easy to do on these uncomplicated machines (busted a freeze plug on my truck so I'd much rather be having bike issues right now lol...)

The only things about that statement you got wrong is A: I use antifreeze, and B: The plug is as old as the truck, which is 25 years old. You should think anything made of steel in constant contact with something containing water for that long has a good chance of eventually failing..

Yes it definitely happens did you get the old girl going?

I will, tomorrow after Thanksgiving dinner at noon. Luckily while it's a rear plug it's highly accessible with the right wheel well pulled, I'll be able to reach right in and do the deed.
