Honda Rincon

I have always had trouble starting my Rincon in cold weather.
With this last cold spell it would start at 5 degrees but the next day at minus 6 no way. I would crank it and then prime it. The starter would engage then sometimes spin other times the stater would work fine. I put my jump pack on as I was running down the battery and I cut get a put put put both nothing else.
Any suggestions?

I have a 05 or 6 rincon and it likes 6 pumps of the primer then pull choke then crank. If I don’t do the primer then it won’t attempt to fire. I had mine running on the trailer Sunday in minus 12 or 15 degrees. Definitely need a fresh juiced battery or it’s a no go.

Darn.
I do the same and mine won’t start. I got fresh winter gas in it. I have been working on this problem for years. I have always had this problem.
My mechanic suggested rebuilding/rejetting the carb (can’t remember the exact terminology) which he did a couple years ago and no different. I thought of putting a dc electric blanket over it a couple hours before starting. It sits in a enclosed trailer.

Couple tips:

Honda recommends a different spark plug for colder weather, you’ll have to look up what you’d need.

Your carb likely has a small heating element, cycle the key on and off (without cranking), watch for the red light to go out, then cycle again and again before cranking.

If you have a second person available, have one person crank the starter and the other rip the pull cord, that extra speed boost gets mine to fire everytime (when needed).
