1. Clean/check spark plug
2. Service airfilter
3. Verify ignition timing
4. Clean carburetor
5. Verify battery is fully charged

A hotter plug is said to help with starting. Most plugs like ngk the lower the number the hotter the spark. Some plugs are the oppisit.

i never have problems starting mine inn cold weather. i hate how long it takes to warm up though. i just pump the throttle like 3 times, put the choke on half way, and hit the magic button. fires right up.
