Hard Starting Cold Continental Engines

Perhaps my description was not clear enough. My engines do have Tanis
preheaters on them. When I preheat the engine everything is fine, it
starts like a mid-summer day. The problem is when it is cold and I am
unable to preheat due to lack of accessibility to electricity.

It might be worth trying to find some other way to preheat when you
cannot plug in (get the plane pulled into a heated hangar, or borrow a
forced-air heater). Your engines might be trying to send you a
message.


All the best,
