Was it possible to explain the carburettor's quimtessence in 233 words (the introductory bit didn't count). It's something you yourself might consider, say, for your bike's electric motor. But it's quite a discipline. Note the word "slide" doesn't appear in my post. A matter of keeping the words to an absolute minimum.

I moved to the USA in very late December 1965. Very shortly afterwards I heard a bit of meterological news and read an ad in a magazine which - combined - proved that the UK and the USA don't really share the same planet. The weather news revealed that the temperature in International Falls, Minn, had hit -47 deg F while the snowfall in Oswego, NY, had amounted to 103 in. Meanwhile (as we writers of fiction love to say) the ad, publicising either Hertz or Avis, mentioned that the rental cars at Green Bay airport, all parked outside, had their engines continuously running throughout the day (and presumably the night). Turn an engine off and , after 30 min or so, the car woudn't start.<br /><br />Have you considered having a heating element installed in your car sump with an external socket into which you can plug in an electric power line from the house? If not, why not?Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-45924694845997757732013-02-07T12:40:30.865+00:002013-02-07T12:40:30.865+00:00My exterior thermometer is measuring minus 30 at t...My exterior thermometer is measuring minus 30 at the moment. I need to use the car and hope the petrol is not frozen. Was told to keep the tank half full at all times in winter. Not sure it is.<br />I have remote starter but have to dress full gear and step out to see if car started. Price to pay for overlooking garden and woods instead of parking lot.<br /> Ellenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965850008354379369noreply@blogger.com
