my cub is a little testy when it gets cold too. and its real easy to flood that rascal. if you have a heat gun....or grab yer wifes hair dryer, blow the hot air on the carb to warm it up. dont cook it, just get her warm, then give it a quick shot of ether in the air cleaner, the warm carb helps the fuel vaporize better.

12v will start a CUB when its 30 below. #1 you must have bad starter,cables,sparkplugs,connections out of time or something else simple as a 60 cu engine is not that hard for a starter to turn the engine over on 12v. You mite not even have any compression because of bad valves i would first check compression then go from there. Take all the plugs out before running a compression test. We dont care what it reads just are all 4cycls fairly equal then we can progress from there.

Add a heater to the cooling system, that way its warm when it starts up. Or you may have a carb problem. Since the carb most likely doesn't have an adjustable main jet its probably running on the lean side which will make them hard to start also
