Dan,
I had this problem last february, when it was 10 degrees below zero (C).
I found out that the choke did not work well. I found it out by getting some
help: while I pulled the choke lever (arm), my wife started the car.
It would start fine then. Found out that the pivot on the axle was adjusted
wrong. I readjusted it and all was fine.
BTW I have a 68 B with dual HS carbs, as std.
