On my 4430,4630 it helps if you keep the fuel tank full... seems like the fuel drains back to the tank when under half...also pump the fuel up by hand with the pump by the strainer.
They are "ether pigs" when its cooler for sure.
A jd mechanic told me to use the "cheap ether"...it still helps start it...but doesn't have the "kick" of the good stuff...anyway..fwiw.
I have overhauled two of mine..and the top rings groves on the pistons were really sloppy...ether?
Under 20 degrees...a tarp over the engine to keep the breeze off the engine block...and a battery heater sure help, too
