If it's still hard to start, the reliable way of cheating is to put an
unlit propane torch in the intake. Should start EZ and even idle with
no gas in the tank. When warm turn propane off.
This is really clever, I will definitely try that. I will do a lot of
experimenting tonight.

Man, I would not have thought of that in a million years. Thanks.

Hell....I thought everyone knew that trick. Small engines, motorcycles,
chainsaws etc etc
Not quite everyone, simple tricks need to be posted occasionally
Also remember the propane bottle needs to be warm. If the torch was
stored with the blower, you are out of luck.
Propane has enough vapor pressure at 10 below zero, but butane would not.
