Not only that, warming the engine prior to starting will add some extra life to your engine, meaning it will even last a few extra gallons doing so. So you will thank yourself in the long run for taking the time to warm up your engine each time you start. Also, now that you’ve got the engine running, I’m assuming your broke it in properly. This will help take away from that initial “pinch” the engine has, and also make it easier to start. You’ll prolly notice that the more fuel you put through the engine, the easier and easier it will get to start. Just have to “wear” it in a little. But, definitely heat before starting! Saves a lot of headache!
