P1000 Pioneer 1000 regret

[jwfirebird]

My suggestions: Non ethanol 87 gas, I would drain the tank and put fresh in. Relocate the gas tank vent, it is known to cause water in the tank. Replace the spark plugs, mostly insurance but if you foul one good they tend to not run 100% no matter what you do to clean them. You do not have to remove the air box to change plugs (not hard to) but do need a couple 3" extensions and a magnet to get them out, pretty sure the plug is a 14mm. 0W-30 oil. You have to have a pretty hot battery for these things to crank. I would leave it on a battery tender or even better get a battery heater or tender and block heater for those - temps.

ethonal free gas does not have the winter additives the gas pump stuff does, maybe good for warm area for its storage benefits but is need to make a vehicle run properly in the north. the cars and trucks run fine forever in neg temps. the only disadvantage is you have to use stabil if you dont plan on using the gas in less than a couple weeks because of the ethonal. honda must push the 100 because the lady said it had it in the tank from the factory and that was what they recommend you keep in it, but you will have problems if you do in the cold

A lot of guys posting on Facebook about this issue. Gel battery and heet in the tank has been the fix for the no start in the cold issue.

Don’t forget that as temps lower the availability of effective cranking power also diminishes. The inverse is true for recharging the spent energy as well.

Lots of stops and starts in cold weather is hard on these small batts.

Well to my surprise it started today, fairly easy actually. But.......it warmed up today to 13 degrees Fahrenheit. Thank god I was able to plow in this blizzard. Weather is supposed to drop off again to minus 15 I think tomorrow. Really appreciate everyone’s input.

Glad to hear you got it going! I read your first post and was thinking, if you bought it brand new and only put 8 miles on it, the dealer must have put bad gas in it to begin with. I dont see how yall deal with that cold weather. Lol. It was 57 degrees here today and they have already cancelled 60+ schools and counties for tomorrow because we are expecting a dusting to 1 inch.

Where is home,sharp?

-35, wow that’s brutal. Sharp, my daughter went to college in tn and she would send us pictures of totally empty milk and bread shelves if they were forecast to get an inch of snow.

Yes they are the same way here in Ky. I'm from NE Ohio snow belt area. I laugh at these crazies down here. Good people but clueless about real snow.

Last I heard they are saying we could get 3-6" over here in the mountains. I've already got the call from work to be there at 4am to start plowing and treating roads.

LMAO! I am from Texas and work, or my truck works as a RV transporter! You guys up north, I am feeling your pain but "HATS OFF" to the road crews! They do a amazing job as a 1" of snow around here, people go bezeerk! I'm staying home a few weeks until things clear, up there.

Beer and ammo. If I got ammo I can get whatever I want in a real honest to goodness crisis.
