Is there anything else that should be done?
Also, what is the best way to warm up these old Kohlers and hydros when its really cold before using them.
Thank you
on my 1650 I used a glue on oil pan heater made for a semi and a battery trickle charger. I leave the charger plugged in all the time to keep the battery charged and warm. When I want to move snow I will pug in the pan heater for a half hour and she fires right up like it is 80 degrees out. Forgot to mention I am running sae 30 w
