As much as i disagree with green energy,  there's one flaw in the  ointment this time around, as canada's windmills operate in below zero temps and ice .  i read on NBC, This year  Winterization inspections were not done due to covid 19 on power plants and turbines.

I interned for a manufacturer and lived in Montreal for 2 years--they would have to do so or not work at all. We had to plug our cars in at night (block heaters) so they would turn over (at all) in the morning...

Is it safe to assume that they weren't designed to operate in adverse weather conditions, due to the normal climate in Texas?

My guess would be is they were more concerned with heat than cold  s0274.gif

Im thankful we didn't lose power.  Found out our power comes from Louisiana. 

According to our governor all the plants are working now and only issues remain are distribution line issues that the power companies have to take care of.

      Hi new member, Randy from East Texas

      Just bought a Bad Boy Bandit 750. Need to change the oil and filter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty sure this a Hisun 750 Sector even though it says it's a Bad Boy. I'll include pics soon.

      Severe weather or other safety alerts on your InReach, Zoleo, etc.
      By Wandering Bison
      Hey everyone,

      I am looking for people who enjoy remote adventures to test a new service I have launched, I thought I'd reach out to the community here.

      Almost three years ago, my travels took me to Cape Scott Provincial Park, at the northern end of Vancouver Island,  a remote area on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, where I spent a week. While there, I realized I would have had no way of getting notified of a distant earthquake and the resulting tsunami. My Garmin inReach would have allowed me to call for help in an emergency or to get a current forecast, but it couldn't alert me in the case of an immediate risk. Imagine a similar situation in an area at risk from flash flooding, forest fires or a tornado. When I got back to civilization, I tried to find a solution. Surprisingly, no one offered a notification solution using a satellite device like inReach!

      So, I founded a company called Adiona Alert to provide the service I needed but couldn't find. 

      After more than two years of work, including testing the service over the last six months throughout North America and issuing over 2000 safety alerts, including severe weather, to our small fleet of test devices, we are beginning to invite people to join our Early Access program so they can start using the service today for free! 

      Given where your adventures likely take you, this community would be perfect to test the service.

      As we slowly add small groups of users, It would be great if some of you would apply for our Early Access program. You would get these potentially live-saving alerts for free. All I ask in return is to share your thoughts, suggestions, and even complaints with my team to improve the solution.

      I would love you to visit our website - AdionaAlert.com, to learn more and apply for our Early Access program.

      Thanks for considering this, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

      Coleman Outfitter 550x sometimes starts when weather is warmer
      By jmutv
      Hello!  I have a Coleman 550x that has about 4.5 hours on it.  It's had an easy life waiting on the engine to break in.  I purchased it in June and now with cooler weather coming in, it seems to be not wanting to start.  If the temp outside is 70 degrees or less, it won't catch.  The lights all work, no error code.  I can turn over the engine and the battery is strong.  If I give it the slightest amount of gas, it will start.  However, if the RPM drop near 1500, it quits.  I've tried running it for 6-7 mins (with the accelerator slightly depressed) to see if when warmed it up it works, but still no go.  Perhaps the engine didn't actually warm up at that low of RPM and around 65 degrees outside.  If the temperature is warmer, starts right up and runs no big deal as if nothing is wrong.  I called coleman and they want me to take it to a repair shop and they didn't even try to troubleshoot.  Any ideas?

      Just purchased a new Coleman UT400 and came across your forum searching for info and wanted to get in on the fun. We have had a golf cart that wasn't really up to the job and pulled the trigger on the Coleman. We only have 5 acres and this seems to be a good match. So far I have been pleased with the purchase but like several others the manual is not correct but I  have already found very useful information here 😀
