Everytime it gets cold it wont start, otherwise it runs fine and drives fine. One time we poured gas down the carbuerator and it started, this time nothing, it almost acts likes its not getting gas, Im at my wits end. I thought maybe my gas line froze, but I think not; would a cylinnoid go bad all at once? HELP!

Hi, if it cranks good, but, won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. if spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Check for possible trouble codes.
