Ice coming out of the carb? You sure it's not condensation that's freezing?

As for the hard starts.... Your valves are probably tight...

yeah, it runs better when it's warmer out because the valves arn't sticking as bad because the oil isn't as cold... I suggest a valve adjustment...

Plus cold air makes for leaner mixtures, which might also explain the hard starting and back fire on let off. If the valves are in spec, try going 1/4 turn richer on the mixture screw.

check this first.its out of my repair manual.

engine backfires
1) pilot mixture screw adjusted too lean
2)air leaks into exaust system
3)inoperative air cut-off valve(backfiring during deceleration) located on side of carb.its a cover with 2 screws.
4)damaged ignition pickup coil(also check ignition timing)


HOPE THIS HELPS
