It is frequently necessary to turn the idle up a little when the weather turns cold. There is an idle screw on the side of the carburator, and your owner's manual will point out where it is. Turn it in a little.

Either that, or the pilot jet is plugged. Does it idle ok with the choke on? but then dies when the choke is moved off?

If turning up the idle speed doent help, and the mixure screw adjustment isnt all the way in, id say the pilot jet is plugged solid. The float bowl will need to come off, and the jet removed and either the obstruction needs to be cleaned out and if its in there too solidly, just replace the jet.

If none of this works bring it in to a dealor(last option).
