Maybe some others did too, I can’t remember. Anyway I think you got with Guth and he said no. Good call on his part. Smart man he is.
I've a vague memory of it, but I've no idea how I did it. A quick search has not thrown up any clues.

Did a few years in a CO and we had a room full of 48V wet-cell glass lead acid batteries. Man, if one or more were to rupture, it would have been an ugly scene.
A co-worker at the time rode in on a 1985 Yamaha SRX600. What an advanced thumper for its time. Uncommon here. Very light bike.

I found the SRX600 difficult to start in cold temperatures.

Gold, was that inherent to that bike, or when the carbs needed cleaning/adjustment?

Likely the former since it was new at the time.
Warm weather starts were a non-issue.
I used to ride a Suzuki DR200 (brand new) that was difficult to start near the freezing temperature. Choke it too much and the engine flooded.
