Well, being mid winter its time for the mid winter startup... with NO letup of the cold weather I was luckey to get the 34 degree day I had so I pulled the doors open behind the car and opened the back. I pulled the FI connector off the trigger points so it wouldnt light prematurely and cranked till the oil cooler was filled and the oil pressure came up (about a minute). Glad to see that a 7 year old dead cold battery can still do that (I trickle charge them) I plugged in the FI. It had fuel pressure, but boy! it was a slow return to life that involved me having to open the throttle and wait a few seconds till all 4 were firing! Bit surprized as it usually comes to life instantly! Once running it was fine though... SO GOOD to hear the din of an air-cooled engine again... and a real anticipation of spring! Only a few months left...
