    8N Cold Weather Starting

    Thanks to all who replied. As I said to Bruce in his initial response, I've done the things he suggested. Battery was new last winter (early 2019) when I first experienced the issue. I keep it on a Battery Tender, so it's not sulfated or low. I suspect it's the starter, given everything...

    8N Cold Weather Starting

    Thanks, Bruce. I've done all of the maintenance you suggest. I'll try larger battery CCA and ether. Blanket and/or halogen light may help. Looks like people's experiences with Katz lower radiator hose heaters (at least the reviews on Amazon) are pretty poor.

    Fuel Bowl Knob and Screw

    Hi, all. The knurled knob and set screw fell out of the sediment bowl the other day out in high grass. Does anyone know the screw size? I really don't want to pay six or seven dollars for a new assembly, plus ten bucks shipping, when all I need is a screw that I can use with a wing nut...
