High rpm for the first few minutes of operation is bad at -20 it can take a minute to curculate oil, think about the piston-cilinder walls, google Cold startup oil starvation.

Idles at ~600 when warm. We live in sunny CA where the coldest it gets is maybe 40F in the morning. Will see what I can do to drop the cold idle...

Yet another reason to stop cheaping out and to use synthetic oil. Instantly circulates no matter how cold. |
