It may be fuel related though. Maybe the unleaded with no additives doesn't like low temperatures.

I get about 6 weeks out of a tank so winter will be almost gone before I need to fill up again!

Sorry when I said "its not the cold" I meant its not cause thhe needle is freezing.... yes, its definately the cold thats the catalyst.

My point was its NOT a starting problem... which is what people were starting to get into.


Any luck with needles?
Have you blown the cobwebs out yet?

Cheers,
Peter.
