I run propane burning tractors in North Dakota and starting is no problem down to below 0. Usually at -20 or colder I need to put a sniff of starting fluid in the air intake to light them off. If you have problems starting a propane engine at 40F,it may have a tuneup problem or possibly you have the wrong propane fuel. There is a motor fuel grade of propane that you should be using,this is all we can get in ND. This is the correct blend of propane and butane for easy cold weather vaporization and starting. If by chance the propane you are being sold is a southern blend that is very heavy on butane,then cold weather starting could be a problem as butane will hardly vaporize at 40F Check your propane supplier to see if he is selling you a motor fuel blend
