Upsides of air-cooled engine: The coolant doesn't freeze because there is none

How hard was it get it to start?

You guys allowed to drive yet? So weird to think of NYC standing still. Also. I've completely forgotten how temperatures below 20ºC feel like. The heat is horrible.

started right up! Well, third twist of the key, but really easy. Didn't idle for the first three minutes, but that's not really abnormal. Just needs some babying to get warmed up.

Great to hear that!
The engine is just fine then. Upgraded to twin carbs yet?
