Why do I have so much steam coming from exhaust? Seems like every time I start it I get lots of water and steam from exhaust. Is this just a function of cold damp weather?

Hmmm .... install a bleeder valve like the one in the bottom of an air compressor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I like that idea. Almost like installing a drip on a residential gas fuel line.

If you look at most steel, rolled edge mufflers (like an old school style, not like a modern german car), there is usually a small hole in the lowest point on the muffler for a drain.

Great Fletch ref, thanks, BTW.
