I wondering the best way to pre-heat my John Deere LX255 lawn tractor's air cooled 15hp engine up here in Wisconsin? Having problems getting gas into the cylinder when it's below zero, thinking the gas control solenoid freezes up.
A trick we have had success with is a hair dryer. Warm up the area around the carb. Normally takes about five minutes. You might be wishing for warmer weather, but for me a couple of feet of snow would be welcome.

No. It's isopropanol. Auto parts store. But buy one that says isopropanol on the label. Not the cheap stuff. But that won't prevent carb icing. That will just prevent gas line freeze ups and disperses water in the fuel. Carb icing is humidity freezing up in the venturi of the carb.
