Re: Winter GW Blues
Were the Canadian engines subjected to the same indignities as the
American ones were during the infamous smog era of the mid-70's to 80s?
Without good multiport fuel injection, engines of that era were not
shining examples of driveability.

Nothing using the computer as a boat anchor and putting a manual choke

At least the Canadian CJ's don't require a Cat.

Re: Winter GW Blues
The problem is, that he didn't say how many seconds, minutes, or hours it
takes to get "weaker and weaker". There isn't enough data here, to say
whether there is a battery problem or not.
