noted folks

I do not tend to use it often - my garage is in the house so to speak

but I have got it in use when the snow is on the ground......


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

What do you really need ? Background heat to keep damp at bay ? Or furnace like heat when you work ?

I sometimes have the opposite problem. During summer I swear it must have been approaching 50 degrees C in my garage....
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
