[VintageLambo] Happy holiday and prosperous new year

Guys, I"ll be out of touch for a while, and wanted to wish all a happy holiday. We"re going to Florida to bask in the sun and spend vast quantities at Mickey-land. I"ve learned a great deal these past months, and hopefully contributed a bit also. If anyone has a ski trip planed for next year in the Co rockies, send me fair warning and I"ll have you over to show off my pretties (the cars, you nimrods), drink grog, and tell lies about our pretties (the cars...). While in the land of sunshine, I"ll be looking at a few cars, but no Lambos. Maybe I"ll get a Willy"s, or an early Franklin. As for the carb stuff, my S1 has 22s on the starboard, and 23s on the port. The 23s have the choke, but I know the 22 can be retrofitted with the choke mech. or vice versa for a 22, add the mech to make it a 23. I"v been in cold weather for a while, and I"ve used ether on tractors, ford diesels, cars with FI, old cars, snow blowers, 2 strokes, etc. If you go easy (1st post on subj) it"s far better on the engine than long cranking. I know you all use Synthetic oil, so cold starting isn"t too bad on the lubed parts. If you don"t use synthetics, I too recommend preheating the crank/oil to get it flowing well prior to startup. One other quick and dirty trick is to BRIEFLY jump across the ballast resistor while cranking to provide max voltage to the coils. Take it off once the engine fires to protect the rest of the circuit. Ho Ho Ho! Keep the shiny side up, see ya all next year. Doc
