Just wondering if anyone of you guys do anything different when running your machine in cold weather , I was out the other day and it was -28c (16-17 below zero ) I do run amsoil synthetic oil , also i run gas line antifreeze in the tank,do any of you reroute the air intake hose to under the hood?The reason I am asking is my machine started missing as I ran it ,I was running in 2-3 feet of snow ,yes it is tracked,so it was working.

Hey deerchaser, I don't know what you are run for a machine but the older rigs had the fuel tank vent on the back of the tub and I suppose it could frost up and starve the engine of fuel. My 02 conquest would skip after running hard and it was more of a vapor lock, let it cool down and away you go. With my 2016 hdi I plow snow down to -30F and it doesn't miss a beat and I plow most of my yard and a half mile of road granted interior Alaska has very dry snow. Have you tried a fresh set of plugs? -
Thanks for the reply beagle man ,I am running a 2013 XTI c/w a 750 EFI motor,I might have found the problem as I was doing some reading on the form and one of the members had a problem with a motor missing and it turned out to be a loose connection on the coil closes to the firewall,after doing some checking I found that i had the same problem,I repaired the spade lug connection on the coil and it seems to be running better ,at least in the garage.I will have to get it out on my next days off and see if it runs better .Comment
