Question
my truck has been sitting on the side of my house for two months. i live in Alaska so right now it is pretty cold last week when i tried to start it the battery died and I'm charged it but now i cant get it to start. it cranks regularly but there is no sputter. what should i do????

Answer
Hi James.... yep it would be cold there....do you have a block heater...if so plug it in...make sure you are getting fuel up to the carb...if not check for froze fuel line...if you are check for spark...if you have spark and fuel pull plugs clean and dry them. reinstall make sure choke is closed and try starting. try not to flood...hope this helps...happy new year
