A shot in the dark:
Is your spark plug right for your environment weather, right,
"Winter hot/close gap, Summer weak/wide" that's simpler than to mess with
the fuel air mixture on an auto bystarter, not like a petcock there is
it....

Your shot missed!
The heat range of a spark plug refers to the environment inside the
combustion chamber, at the tip of the plug. The outside environment has
absolutely no bearing on selecting a plug.........unless it is extreme,
like -40F or +120F so that it would affect the "normal" operating
temperature inside the engine. Given the same gap, when cold, one heat
range plug works exactly like another........exactly.
It is worthwhile checking the plug incase it is fouled or not gapped
correctly or otherwise defective but a tiny change in gap or different heat
range plug will certainly not, by itself, "fix" a starting problem.
