January 26, 201610 yr Commercial Member Hi Ric, From the manual: Engine cold start smoke Igniting the engine in a cold environment may cause a condensation vapor cloud to occur when the temperature is below -5*C (23*F). The colder it gets, the more the effect will show. Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
January 27, 201610 yr Author Hi Ric, From the manual: Manual, what manual? Oh found it, it's the little "i" on the "Modify/Install" bar. Thanks for the quick reply, I new it was temperature dependent, just not what temp. Ric Elmore
