[QUOTE="maplemale, post: 1153018, member: 17366"] Busy holiday season. Sorry for lack of response. I have not tried what you stated yet, but will do so soon. Had other issues to fix recently... the battery light started flickering on the way back from MT and discovered 2 issues: 1. The bottom of the drivers side of the positive battery terminal had cracked in half/corroded. 2. There were frayed wires coming off my alternator charger cable. And an old repair of that connection was done badly. Fixed those issues and the battery light no longer flickers. I'm pretty certain this was the main reason for the no-cold-start that one day. I don't think I was getting full juice from the second battery. Fixing this certainly did nothing for the smoke issue - she still smokes like a chimney when warming up at 30 degrees. I'll check more into the GPCM. Wish I could ditch the thing for a relay. But, I suppose it wouldn't pass inspection anymore. Also, I have to state this again: Regardless of what amount of smoke others have, neither me or firehunter had smoke at all when warming up before stage 1s and custom tunes. I get that it can be "normal", but it seems not normal in this case. And another thing worth noting... when I run straight kerosene with a lubricant (2 cycle mix), it never smokes at all, even down to 0 degrees without being plugged in. Though it smells like a tiki torch! I've been doing this lately so I don't irritate my neighbors. I get a limited supply of cheap kerosene now and then which I've been saving for winter. :D [/QUOTE]
