				Subject: "Prestart warm up question"
   
  I live in Dayton Ohio where a warm up is required  in the winter months. I purchased a small construction heater, the type that  uses kerosene as fuel and has a forced air burner that sounds like a small jet  engine. I fabricated a flange with an adjustable air space that transitions the  heater output to a flexible aluminum hose that I direct upwards around the  muffler and cowl opening. I open the oil door to provide an air path for the  heat to flow up and out. I have found that this system works well and heats the  engine quickly even on a really cold day. It's also great to warm up the pilot  while waiting..
