Started my 2001 PT425 with the Kohler at 6F the other day. I pulled the air cleaner and gave it a shot of carb cleaner, and put a battery booster on before attempting. Had to crank if for about 15 seconds, but it started.
I went no throttle, full choke (after the shot of carb cleaner), turned the key and slowly decreased the choke until it coughed. Then slowly increased to less than 1/4 throttle and it fired. Continued to crank until it started sputtering and let off the key. Came to life.
Will try again tonight, as we had a lot of snow during the day, but it's 31F right now, so shouldn't be a problem.
Hopefully I won't have a need to try it the next few days as it's supposed to get to -22F Wednesday A.M. Brrrrr..... I might go fishing! :laughing:
