My 2014 with estart fired up today at -25 but it did quit once and I had to hit it again. Lol.

My 2012 summit will not start below -23 or so. Exact same as above. Not overly stiff, fires on second or third pull then sputters out. Fourth pull sputters a little longer, then fifth it gets really stiff and is impossible to start. I would try day after day and as long as it stays cold the sled is still very very stiff to pull over. Once it warms up a little (today is -17) it's easy to pull over and started 3rd pull. Very frustrating.

Will have to try the shop vac hose trick

Can't you just slowly pull it over 10-15 times to loosen up the engine? I've had to do that on my rev a few times over the years and it's always worked for me.

Yup I do that when its cold pull the key off and slowly pull or over a couple times and then it always starts

does the latest warranty campaign fix this cold start issue or does it just help stop the plugs fouling?.
