maybe fuel is waxing in the cold. Try a bit of aerostart or dip a rag in petrol and hang it in the air intake (not dripping you just want some fumes) to liven up the mix.

did you run in it long enough to charge it up when you started it 2 weeks ago. I just got one started that had been there for about 6 months, fired up straight away but it was cold and stalled. Took about an hour of jump leads from my other cruiser to get it going again.

I would say battery is your problem. They seem to pull heaps of current to get going.
