Ignition!

Hi all, I am brand new here.

I have a 1991 Ford E150 and have been the owner for a little over a year now. I am in Michigan so in the winter it gets damn cold! For some reason, the colder it gets the harder it is to turn the ignition. I cannot figure this out, and doesnt make sense to me. Anyone else have this problem or know about it?

thanks

yup! i'm from washington state , it don't get that cold here but i've had same prob it's the grease in the tumbler , it hardens when cold but as soon as the cab heats up it's fine , don't use wd 40 to loosen, use a graphite base lube to loosen up the tumbler
