| Fuel filter?? What fuel filter?? That engine has never had one, but will in the future. Certainly will have the mechanic check on these other possibilities, too.
Cold seize = Inadequately warmed up engine, leading to piston seize up.
My layman's understanding is that the pistons, being made of aluminum, heat up much faster than the engine block during a cold start. If the user puts the hammer down before the block has a chance to warm up, the heated piston can expand rapidly and seize up in the cylinder. Probably an oversimplification, but the message is clear: let the engine warm up sufficiently before really going at it. This may not be my problem, but still good practice to follow.
