Jim theorizes that low coolant caused portions of the engine to get too hot, so the temperature sensing computer thought it was very cold outside, and made the fuel -
air mixture too rich (less air).

A little elbow grease when you stir can help whip some
air into the
mixture and thin it out,
too.
Also if you have

mixture.
If the
air filter is clogged enough, the resultant
air - fuel
mixture could be
too rich for fuel management to rectify, resulting in sputtering / stalling.
The computer is calculating an
air / fuel
mixture that is
too lean.
It could possibly be that your fuel -
air mixture is
too lean, which means there's no excess fuel to evaporate and cool the engine.
Tom: And that extra
air «leans out» the
mixture (i.e., lets in

10 or 15 years ago, the city of Tacoma was running a small power plant that had been converted to burn a

air separator) in a fluidized bed combustor.
