                 UPDATE:   
      
         I decided to try Brian's (Champion support) procedure today, Wednesday,   
   since the temp. is about the same as it was the last time I ran the generator.   
   Note: I keep generator in the shed.   
      
         I still had a hard time starting the cold generator.   Thank goodness I   
   made that "rigging" so I can stand up while pulling on the recoil starter   
   cord.   
      
         I sent an email to Brian regarding his suggestion did not work.   If I   
   learn anything more,  I will post it here.
