My 110 is hard to start when cold(20deg F), and I suspect the cold is affecting one of the electrical components. The plug is soaked with gas, and the jets are actually a little smaller than the factory sizes of 85 main and 35 slow. It has a 78 main and 32 slow right now, and the PO put one of those chinese carbs on it. I've moved the needle clip up one notch and is currently in the 2nd position from the top. It was in the 3rd position. That helped greatly with throttle response and now the plug is somewhat of a normal color(was sooty black before), but am still having trouble with starting when cold. It gets flooded easily. Any ideas on what this could be? Does it sound like a weak component causing a weak spark when extremely cold? FWIW, it will start when cold on the first couple pulls, but if it dies for any reason, restarting it is pretty much impossible. It starts just fine when the ambient temperature is warmer...in the 50s or so. Runs and idles nicely too.
Also, side question. '85 110s are all upshift, right? Mine shifts down so I think someone put an 84 motor into this 85 frame at some point.
