Quite interesting actually. Didn't realize that vapor lock could happen so easily when seasons & fuel mixtures change.

Thanks Cas, its off to work for me now though.

I thought it was common practice to drain fuel tanks before storing any kind of engine. I didn't realize that so many folks didn't :S
