Yeah, here in frosty Iceachusetts, you might want to pump the hell out of it before hitting the ignitor. Like 6 - 8 shots. Since, as our semi-tropical friend to the south pointed out, it’s colder here and we don’t have choke plates, you’ll have to continue pumping it for the first 10-15 seconds of run time, then It should settle out and pretend to idle in about a minute.
It also doesn’t hurt to run your volume (mixture) screws out an extra 1/4 turn or two for their “cold weather” setting.
I’ve run Pearl into the low 30° range without issues. Running well set up carbs, it should readily start and quickly settle out, but might cough and puke a few times when you first step on the accelerator - That will get better after a minute or two.
¡Buena Suerte!

I've got a question for you, Gordon, about your comment "I've run Pearl into the low 30* range without issues." Why?
