Default Suzuki Vinson missing in cold damp weather

Hello everyone. I live on the east coast of Canada. I use my vinson to plow my yard as well as few others. I find when its cold and really damp out in the winter the bike wants to stall. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this. It was not always like this. Just since last winter. Wondering what I should change first to try to eliminate the problem. Maybe coil? any suggestions would be appreciated.

ALso it will start and run better when this happens if I put the choke on. .....

Try turning the PMS screw out a half turn or so. Blow compressed air through the jets. Lastly spray WD40 or kerosene on the plug wire. If it's a bad wire, might try running it in the dark. I had a small block Chevy that ran badly, looked under the hood one night, the wires looked like Christmas lights. I still suspect, it's the carburetor running lean, not wiring related.

Ok thank you hydrex. I will try that. I will let you know how it works. I believe the PMS stands for the pilot mixture screw
