Was busy doing things before winter arrives. One was to put the 4A project under the lift and the 3A up. Nice cool brisk day to day. The 3A has developed an idle problem when cold coupled with stalling on stop. Today was 30 something so I let it warm up and took it out for "the loop." U know. I could rev nicely to 4500 easily, pulls and still sounds delicious with the top on to keep a little warmth. I was stepping on it and give it a good workout and clean it out as well as get my last ride in.

So now it's stowed up on the lift and I will (promise) do something on my 4A over the winter. It's now closer to the wood stove so it will be warmer to work.

Busy day.
 
I always richen the fuel mix in the colder weather, denser cold air seems to lean it out some and that usually does it for my cold weather tune up. Check your plugs.
It's getting time for the windscreen and not the aeroscreens tho.
 
Snow overnight so I got things done just in time. Thanks for the tip on the plugs. Probably time for a carb rebuild too. That ethanol really sucks on old rubber.
