I had an ATV70 three wheeler when I was a kid in Alaska, and unless it was below 0 F outside, it would start pretty easily. If you have to use starting fluid every time, then you are probably having choke problems or float level problems. I'd check to see that your choke butterfly is closing all the way, you might do a compression test, too. If that engine has a decompression system, then check the adjustment on it, as well. If it's pulling open too far (if you even have one) then your compression will be too low to start easily.
