What is the coldest temp you've started your Honda 2000 in?

I will probably have to use mine in a while in some -35F temps. I've used it before at -20F, but I pulled it out of a warm truck and it started just fine. This time, if I have to do, it will be outs...

Trackrig,

I've started my Yamaha 3000 using the electric starter at -32 C (-25.6 F). It was not happy. I did have sea foam in the tank. The gas was three months old and it was cold soaked for at least a week.

I did have to keep the choke pulled out a bit to keep it running for the first few moments.

I'd suggest a "magnetic" block heater. I have one--but since it started--I did not resort to using it.
