So you've took spark plugs out and changed them I am not all that familiar with the type of engine that you mention but I think you need to be looking in the direction of a coil pack plug leads does it have a distributor cap at all if so check the contacts inside maybe change it for a new one and also the rotar arm that's only if you have a distributor cap set up on your vehicle but I think your trouble will be more of electrical

Change to a low viscosity oil such as 5W30. It will flow very well in colder weather. The higher viscosity oil is like bacon grease, kind of sludgy until it is warmed up.

Question
When was the last time you changed or cleaned the spark plugs. I had an older car and just would not fire up when it was real cold outside. We ran down two batteries so at zero degrees Fahrenheit I changed the spark plugs. No problem after that
also is your carburetor set up so the choke is working properly?

Testimonial: "I already changed the spark plugs, that did not help. there is no way to adjust the choke, idle speed or timing on this vehicle. I pulled the plugs and they were wet with gas. I turned the motor over with the plugs out and gas pumped out of the spark plug holes !"
Is your air filter clean? Maybe pumping too much gas
yes it's clean. I brought it to a shop. I think one of the startup sensors is bad and it can only be found through computer diagnostics
I think it fuel pressure is too high at start up
