First start of the Day .... 120-130

The iron block and the mass of fuel in the tank both absorb/lose heat slowly. That is they retain whatever heat or lack of heat they have for a long time.

After a nice cool night everything is still 55-65 degrees in there. After a run and shutting down everything maintains a higher than ambient heat for a long time (water in radiator won't but that is the point of the radiator, right?).

There you have it!

Sometimes cranking with the pedal floored and "snapping" it closed will give a small "burst" of fuel to get the engine started. But you have a choke, so...

Mike!
