    Cold mornings

    My E-Tec 50 on my 2005 Lowe 160W has problems with cold mornings.
    It starts fine but when I engage and attempt to throttle up it makes a "bogging" sound and won't throttle up until I let it idle for quite a while. This makes it tough to move after launch so I use my TM while it warms.
    Is this a linkage or fuel delivery issue?
    I talked with other guys with other motors and they have experienced similar on cold mornings.
    I don't have too many being here in SoCal.

    might want to check the thermostat and pressure relief valve operation to make sure they are allowing the motor to warm up quickly.
