I've been looking through the archives and I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I have kind of a specific Q related to cold starting. I'm in Canada, gets pretty bitterly cold here. It was around 10F (-12C), had ran the block heater for 20 minutes and attempted to start up my 1540 (it's new to me so I'm still figuring these things out.) I couldn't get it to start with no throttle, giving it a little more throttle I got it to fire up. Is this fairly normal? I've been letting it heat up for a good 20 minutes or more before doing anything with it, just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Not looking forward to getting it to start at -15F!
