Cold Starts

How well do your machines start in the cold?

I was having a heck of a time with my kids machine - (Horizontal 125) getting it running when the climate wasn't perfect. I changed the plug about a week or so ago and it starts up without the choke when it's -5 or -17 degrees and it starts very quickly.

The guy I bought it from said to not bother trying to run them in the winter. Seems to work good for me...I still need the bushing for the swingarm but I ordered some as well as possibly trying the hockey puck DIY method.
