[QUOTE="dingeryote, post: 4691285, member: 30902"] The GC 160 on mine has been cranky about it lately as well. Synthetic 5--30 helps, as does a clean filter and a properly gapped plug. A snort of ether dosn't hurt. Biggest improvement I found was to run the Hydro tank at half capacity in winter, and thin out the 10W hydro with a couple quarts of ATF. The Hydro warms up faster when there is less to warm, and there is no issue with getting rid of excess heat. Accumulated moisture in the tank boils off, and stays boiled off that way as well. I let her low idle for 15min. or so before even putting a load on it. The cavitation issue is unnerving when you can hear it whining under a load. It bugs me enough to just let it warm all the way.
