Got bored watching TV, so thought I'd try to start the 756 gasser and collect a jag of firewood my oldest boy cut last week.
Started easy enough, but the solenoid on the starter didn't kick into the flywheel a couple of times, I assume this is cold weather related, but when it did, two cranks, the engine fired off and I was on my way.
