I need some help from you guys where it gets really cold.

Starting fluid got a bad name in the earlier years because it washed out the lubricant from the cylinder walls which caused problems. They have since put a additive in starting fluid to prevent that. If you get a good brain name it doesn't hurt a thing but help start your equipment. All you should need is a small spray pass the air cleaner. I sure would use starting fluid over carburetor cleaner because then you are washing out the lubricant from the cylinder walls.

I bought a can yesterday. Sprayed both blowers. Both started first pull.
 
You could also get a heat gun and heat the head and block for a few minutes to put some heat in the motor
so it will start easier I try to stay away from starting fluid in the dead of winter my poulan pro leaf blower starts up
with 4 pulls and about 0 Degrees or a little above I use it to clean a dusting of snow off walk ways I have used it for 2
years in the winter and have never had to heat the block or use starting fluid

I guess that sounds good but in our real world situation I don't see us doing that unless there is no other way around it.

Today was 10 degrees everything started fine 5 primes choke and pull till start. Then hold full throttle and flip the choke switch on and off a few times
 
In the low 30s everything starts fine but the toro.

Dang briggs will not crank without a jump start when it's cold out.
Even with a 410 cranking amp battery.
 
14 with a wind chill of -1 today :/

Everything usually starts just fine for me no matter what the temperature is. Sometimes my tractor can be reluctant but it usually fires right up.
