So went to start the sled Thursday am ... it was very cold, we drove through minus 36 that morning. Pulled the sled over and it started but only on one cylinder. Was thinking is was probably fuel icing up problem, so I put some fuel line deicer in. Waited awhile, tried again. Same thing. Messed around starting and stopping several times, same thing. Pretty much gave up on it, decided just for kicks, to put it in reverse to see what happens, smartened right up. Could immediately hear after engine came back on in reverse, it ran smooth as a silk. Ran great rest of weekend. I'm sure it was cold weather related but should I be looking into something. It could have been a coincidence I suppose. Anyone ever experience this?

Usually when they are idling poorly they won't go into reverse and just stall? Not sure what is going on there?
