OK so it got a tune-up at log 30 in Gettysburg but its got the same fuel that was in it when I filled up in Port Jervis on the 11th. The battery has been sitting at around 34 degrees Fahrenheit for two months but today the temps got to a balmy 45 degrees F and I did need to crank over a dozen times to light off the stale fuel. I do have an electric fuel pump and a Gustafson starter so I think it makes all the difference. I probably have dozen or more Lucas starters with cloves of garlic and wooden crosses laying on top of them with a stake of hickory driven though them. Not sure why I even keep them around, maybe some day I will want to ruin another ring gear or something stupid like that.

p.s. - no I didn't go for a drive, to much salt, sand and melting snow to make a mess and I am way to lazy to wash it so I'll just roll it back in the garage later.
