Hey fellas, I hope all of you in the north east are preparing for this polar vortex coming!
Not sure how concerned I should be here, but today plowing snow with my 1282, I noticed it bogged down twice while pushing minimal amounts of light, fluffy snow. It was a very quick change in rpm, but it immediately picked back up. Maybe particulates in the fuel? Cold temperatures? Other than that it ran like a top.
Below are some key points you may ask.
15 degrees F ambient temperature.
3/4 tank full of fuel.
Recent Oil Change (5 hours ago) w/ 10W-30.
Oil level was good.
Air filter clean.
Let it warm up for 5 minutes before moving.
Anything else I should consider? I just want to be proactive, but I may be worrying for nothing. Thanks guys.
