Possible Causes
Incorrect oil viscosity for low temperatures, Weak battery in cold conditions, Fuel vaporization issues with LPG/NG, Faulty intake heater (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid using starting fluid unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. Keep the area clear of snow and ice.
- Use proper oil: Ensure the All Power America engine is filled with oil of the viscosity recommended for the lowest expected temperatures (e.g., 5W-30 synthetic).
- Battery maintenance: Keep the battery fully charged and consider a battery warmer in very cold climates.
- Fuel system: For LPG/NG, ensure regulators and lines are protected from freezing and that tank pressure is adequate.
- Intake heater: If your model has an intake or block heater, verify it is powered and functional. Replace if defective.
