Bill, I live in a cold clime, and I swear by my bottle of starting fluid. It"s almost pure ether, so watch it, doesn"t take much. Remove the left air cleaner, turn on the motor and let the bowls fill, stick the bottle down by the V-stacks and spritz each hole a bit. Crank it and it should start right up. Be very careful about spritzing while cranking, flashback is likely. Once it"s moving nicely, return the air cleaner cover and off you go.
