Hi Carl,
Last January, during a stretch on single-digit (F) days, I could not start
my 77B. Draining out the tar-like 20W-50 and replacing with prewarmed 5W-30
made all the difference in the world. Didn't go back to 20W-50 until March.
I'll be doing the same thing with the rebuild after I get it back together later
this month.
