Pour a capfull of oil down each barrel of the carb and see if it starts easier. Make sure your plugs are good. When was the last time you did a full tune up? If the oil helps, do a compression test.

you can buy stuff from advanced auto or auto zone. Its for carbs, and you poor a small amount before you start it up.

Its helped me out alot.

I would turn it over and over and then get a tiny jump. Then it would run the battery almost dead. This only happens when its cold.

Now it jumps but doesent "Die".

Its pretty obvious, it sais "Cold start for carbs" on the can.
