Hmm, Ohio in October, It will help at typical morning temps. there if you wait a bit, maybe half a minute or so, between turning on the switches and cranking the engine. There is an electric heater in the carbs that makes a big difference when given a chance to warm up. Also, if you are cracking open the throttle whilst starting, try leaving it closed. The 'choke' works better then. Mine usually fires on the 3'rd or 4'th compression stroke but, since I live in So CA, mine isn't really a fair example.
