The tappet clearance is to specs and the motor runs sometimes. It seems that it will not start when the temp. is around freezing. The engine cranks and every couple revolutions you can hear it almost kick over. Spark plug on the left cylinder is always damp while the right is dry. Both plugs have bright spark.

I just cannot figure out why it does not start in the cold temperatures.
