As we near the end of October, I was wandering what people do to run their trucks in the colder temps and possibly snow? Do you still tune by temperature? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Mine stay nearly exactly the same, even running in snow.
Might go just a Very slight bit richer to help keep from leaning because of the temps., but should stay Very close to the standard settings.
 
Strange as it might sound, making it richer is correct.
Colder air means the air density is higher, thus more oxygen / unit volume of air. But it is slight.
If you're on the 'lean end of just right', then colder air might throw you a bit too lean.
It's generally so slight in largescale 2-strokes that it doesn't make THAT much difference unless you're really after that last bit - racing for example.
