was just wondering...

If mine sits for a day or more it's kind of hard to start and when it does get going it smokes like a chimney. I was wondering since a modified fuel pin gives the motor more fuel when the motor is not under boost, the extra fuel might be making it harder to start and run when cold.

I might go back to the stock fuel pin to see.

what color smoke?

big stinky

How cold? Sounds like air bleeding into the system, or gelled fuel. Filter changed recently?

The fuel-pin don't work that way; it only comes into play with boost.

You have a different issue going on, most likely air intrusion.

Thanks for the input guys.

I haven't noticed any difference in cold starts after I installed my DennyT Stage II Fuel Pin. I would start looking for air leaks. Report back what you find.

There must be one. It fires off like a champ if I drive it every day, but if I let it sit, its hard to start and smokes like a locomotive until it warms up.

how cold are you talking? I know mine at minus -25c to -30c smokes till it warms up even plugged in and i know I don't have air leak ... mine starts without being plugged in till -20 c no prob it does sound like it has a big block cam in it , I try not to do that but if i have to i will. Are you grid heaters working ? I also see you have An asa Mod ,I noticed i get more smoke this year when starting cold since I put mine on too plus you are pushing big fuel with those sticks ,DDP 80 HP

I'm pretty sure my toaster is working, but I dont think my block heater is. I'm going to replace it soon.

I'm talking temps 0 to -15 F.

Don't replace the block heater without making sure it's not just a bad cord. The heater cord will go bad more often than the heater itself.

i just had to put a wolverine oil pan heater on and i messed with my cord and yes check it. mine is on its way out but got it working for now i cant find any splits in the block heater cord but i will assume it is the original cord so time to change it

I saw one on eBay yesterday for $17.
