For reliable and safe starting of the engine in cold weather, there are special additional devices that facilitate the process. And how to properly start a cold engine without additional devices?
Instructions
Step 1
To start the carburetor engine at an ambient temperature of up to -15 ° C., Proceed according to the following algorithm. 1. If the car has not been operated for more than 2 days, fill the carburetor float chamber with gasoline. To do this, press the manual fuel priming lever 8-10 times. In doing so, you should feel some resistance, indicating that fuel is being supplied. 2. Place the transmission shift lever in neutral. 3. Close the air damper by pulling the handle fully towards you. 4. Depress the clutch pedal to make it easier for the starter to crank the crankshaft. 5. Engage the starter by turning the ignition key to the second position. 6. Release the ignition key if the engine does not start within 10 seconds. 7. Let the battery rest for 20-30 seconds and start again
Step 2
At air temperatures below -25 ° C, the engine oil thickens, resulting in a significant increase in the resistance to crankshaft rotation. In the combustion chamber, the conditions for mixing air and gasoline are violated. Fuel vaporization and atomization is impaired. The capacity of the battery decreases in cold weather. This is reflected in its starting properties, since the energy of the spark plug is noticeably weakened
Step 3
In this regard, apply the following additional measures that will ensure you start the engine in frosty conditions: - use special winter or all-season oils; - remove the battery in a warm room at night. If you do not rely on the power of your battery, use a second battery to help it., connected in parallel with the main one with special buses or wires of sufficient cross-section. Observing the above starting sequence, immediately before turning on the starter, be sure to press the gas pedal 2-3 times.
