I had this same problem on my '81 Westy.  It was an icy cold January day in Tucson, with the
thermometer barely poking its head above 70 F.  At first I thought the high speed dipstick had
jammed, but it turned out to be the new roller bearing muffler assembly I had just installed
the week before.  Apparently it just doesn't like the cold weather.
