I am inquiring to all of ya'll as to any issues you may have with cold start of your Roxor.
The Roxor uses and air inlet heater which will cycle at pre-start and during initial warm-up based on engine temp. You'll notice the heater indicator come on along with all other indicators during lamp test at ignition energize. In colder ambients the heater will typically stay on along with indication and may cycle a few times to allow a smooth warm up and reduction in white smoke of cold cylinder temps.
Since day one my unit has had a little skip/stumble every now and then at cold start but now that we have lower ambients it's definitely sputtering and coughing with white exhaust smoke for the first few seconds of running and I have no cycle indication of the heater other than the short light test function. I've tested the heater and get no power to the element but have not traced it back to the ECM. I run Mahindra equipment on my farm and have had this problem with a tractor engine which was corrected by a software update.
So with all this rambling, is anyone having any of these cold start symptoms now that we're getting cooler?
Please advise, thx!
