For some reason, a starting procedure is printed on the inside of the sun visor on my '74.
You must be registered for see images attach
Unfortunately, it does not apply when starting in -23 F. I'll tell you, it was a bitch starting it at that temperature.
Step 1:
Get pissed off that your fuel injected Chevrolet Suburban won't turn over due to the use of 20w50 oil in its 330,000 mile TBI 350.
Step 2:
None of your fuel injected vehicles will start, what makes you think that a carbureted vehicle will start?
Step 3:
Find out that 20w50 has let you down.
Step 4:
Get frost bite after pulling all of the plugs to relieve compression (What compression?) in the vein hope that you can get the motor turning over fast enough to build oil pressure.
Step 5:
Your balls freeze off.
Step 6:
Nearly faint when it actually turns over (That might just be the hypothermia kicking in).
Step 7:
Attempt to build oil pressure.
Step 8:
Say screw it after the gauge does not move at all, and dump a 10 to 1 mix of 2 stroke gas down the carburetor.
Step 9:
Keep cranking until the cylinders seem well lubricated.
Step 10:
Gash yourself the "radiator support" (Bailing Wire) and yell profanities while reinstalling the spark plugs.
Step 11:
PUMP LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!!!
Step 12:
Spew out some profanities before you realize that you fubared the firing order (cylinders 2 and 4 swaped).
Step 13:
Empty about half a can of either down the carburetor until it back fires through the carburetor and nearly burns one of your eyebrows off.
Step 14:
Self pitty until you realize that your driveway is at an incline.
Step 15:
Pump like mad, release the e-brake, then pop the clutch.
Step 16:
Bask in the glory of the feat you just achieved.
Step 17:
Spin a bearing.
