Animosity2k Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 9 hours ago, Tom Baker said: When I had my CT I used a $20 Wal Mart heater with some ducting I bought at the hardware store. I plugged one duct into the small round hole that ducts air over the cylinders, and the other was stuck in the oil door. It looked rather crude, but worked well. I did have to replace the heater once because an element burnt out. Have a photo of the air duct your referring to? Is it the round one to the left of the light?

procharger Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I use a hot water heater blanket cut to fit around cowl and velcro to hold it together and a 60 watt light bulb stuck in the oil door keeps the whole engine very warm in winter.

I guess a light bulb turned on inside the oil door would make me nervous all winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procharger Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Use a rough service bulb in a drop light with guard or replace your starter when it goes bad that will make you nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
