[Shotimes] Starting Issues

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Kirk:
 I would hold the pedal to the floor and try a shot of starting fluid. It's
just so cold I don't think the gasoline is vaporizing enough! I think you
plugs are wet with fuel. Maybe put synthetic oil in to get more RPM's out of
the engine when starting it?
