It is about 25 here and scooter didn't want to start, as you crank it, it does start for a second and then dies. I keep doing until battery wares down.(I did get it started and left it warmed up) it starts good in 35-40 whether. It only does this if it seats a few days, whats going on? BTW valves are adjusted.

yes I found they don't like to run in cold temps ,I actually am thinking of not runnging to cold temps myself may do damage to the engine ,though it say they can run as low as 5 degrees ,but my plan is to not run it below the temps you talk about ,if they had a plug like some jap machines do that would probley help ,but its so cold I just feel they were not built to run below 32 ,realically ,I may be wrong mabey some of they other guys know more ,I am hear in northeast an its supposed to bearly get to 30 today ,anything I may have to do ,I will probley do on warmer day or in spring 8-|the first day I ran mine was like 28 hard starting it ,next day was 45 then it ran fine after 5 minutes
