Well, an update.
Temp today is in the lower 40's after a horrible cold spell last week (actual lows of -15, wind chill of -40). Started the trike today for the first time in a couple weeks. Took several tries but finally got her running. Here's the goofy part,,,,,,,high idle only went to 2200rpm, not 3400 as it usually does. It then settled in at a normal idle of 1600rpm after a couple minutes and remained there for the half hour I let it warm up. If it would do this all the time I'd be happier than a cat on a sand dune!
This is the first time that high idle hasn't gone nuts, and I've started the trike before at similar temps.
Any thoughts about what made the enricher behave so nice today? Is it too much to expect ongoing good behavior? Or is it just screwing with me like an ex-wife?
