48°F in August for Pete's sake!
« on: August 24, 2019, 11:05:14 AM »
I just asked the GL's* in my coffee shop, "You guys didn't have the heat on in your cars this morning,  did you?!!"
They all looked at me standing there in my helmet, and at my red, runny nose - and at each other  - "No, no, not me, me neither, no - nope no heat!"
"Thank you", I said.

I hope your engine started lol. At 40 def F, my 400 doesn't start. I am going to take Karl's advice and put in a stronger CCA battery....

At 3°F - a LIKE200i will start so fast and settle into a perfect idle so fast that you're not sure you've even touched the start button yet!
I'm not kidding - the EFI on the LIKE200i is p e r f e c t!

I can't wait to see how my Grand Vista starts in cooler weather. It has a hard time in this SC heat.

The Like is a quick starter and all the EFI Kymcos in this hangar have been reliable starters. Not as quick as the Like but reliable. The only time any have not is when batteries on last legs and Code 33.
