Hi, I have a Rayco super rg 50 and it's been having some problems starting up in 35-40 degree weather. Even use the pre-heat button where one turns the key. Anyone have any ideas so I could startup without any issues. Is this operation normal?
 
Brainstorming here...have you checked to ensure your glow plugs are working properly? Does the machine have a block heater to plug in at night or a couples hours before use? If not can you put one in (it's usually pretty easy, just pull out a block plug and put in a heater unit)? Another trick my grandfather taught me and I can't wait to see reactions to this, is to light a rolled up piece of newspaper and hold it near the air intake so you're sucking in warm air right away. Works good as long as the machine pretty clean and not covered in miscellaneous flammable fluids. :greenchainsaw:
