Cold Weather Bleues

[Tom and Amanda Lang <rustnrot@domain.elided>]

I wish I was referring to a Labatt Bleue, but hey, that's for you northern
neighbors.  What I really am referring to is denser air at colder temps.
Last digest I think I saw 3 instances that *might* be caused by denser air,
therefore leaner mixture (less gasoline to air).  I'm almost positive the
following one is.  If I were as busy as this person, I'd leave it alone,
it'll go away next Spring.  However, for those of you who want to fiddle,
I'd up the Jet size by 1.  Also when the Scout is cold, the choke is on,
and therefore "thinner" air.  

**John Landry**, !!!Looking across the room and staring your way!!!, is
what I've just said a "fair statement"?
