Snip....



"Don't know what made me think of this but I got a hairdryer, took offÂ*
the side cover of the Honda and blew hot air all around the carb area,Â*
being careful not to get the hairdryer too close. Â*Only did it for aÂ*
couple of minutes, pulled the starter cord and it fired up right away.Â*

Later that day, my next door neighbor couldn't start his identical HondaÂ*
either. Â*Acted just like mine had. Â*I told him what I did and he triedÂ*
it also. Â*After warming up the carb area briefly his also fired rightÂ*
up. Â*I suspect that whatever water was in the fuel (there's always aÂ*
tiny amount) froze in the needle area preventing fuel from flowing.Â*
Warming it slightly must have melted it and both mine and his have runÂ*
fine since."



In an emergency that could be tricky. That is...no power to operate the hair dryer.
Maybe I should get an inverter anyway...and make my boat battery earn it's keep.
