Start /stop gas driven vacuum pump via auto controls

[windyacres]

I have a 9 hp airblo Honda driven with twin belt drive. With the use of a 2 inch stroke , linear actuator 12 volt ,controlled by a temperature sensitive switch set for 29 degrees to extend the actuator. The extension will also work a dual linkage 1 pull engine back to an idle 2 release a belt tensioner tensioning drive belts . Pump stops, Honda idles all night. Next morning temp device at 30 degrees approx will extend the throttle to full, tensioning belts and away we go. Honda is electric start, has battery. Anybody done this . Pitfalls ?

Sounds good, report how well it works when you get in the season.
