When living and flying the bush in Alaska, I put a 200 watt drop light next to my carb in my snow machine. I never had a problem with no gas flowing and it was much easier to start. Others would crank seemingly endlessly to get their machines started. Mine usually started with a little choke then one or two pulls. Love those drop lights.....
Glad you got your heat back. Here in Casa Grande, AZ, it is supposed to get to 20 degrees tonight. I had the belly open as the RV tech was waiting for a new flusher valve to install, I had him come out and button it up to keep the heat in, (if there is any)....
BTW: The suggestion of turning the tanks on VERY slowly is a good one. The newer tanks have a fast flow shut off inside. This shut off is in place in case a sudden rush of gas should escape, it shuts itself down. Opening slowly prevents the valve from opening. I crack the valve until I no longer hear the swishing of gas then open it up all the way. Anyway, that's what I have been told.....
