Chris,
Take a look at the things Pete has posted on the Jabiru USA site. I think that
AeroShell 15-50 is a big help if you still have 50 wt oil in it. I had to jump
mine yesterday morning when it was 28 F and I didn't preheat more than 5 minutes.
I still have W100 in mine or it would have started. I guess it is time
to get it change over for winter fun.

How cold is cold? (Giving your location, and or a temperature at
which it won't start might help somebody solve the issue) I have an
Odyssey 680...(what is yours?)...and it starts every time. I've left
it out for a couple of hours after flying somewhere....temp in the
10-20 degree F. above zero range...and it starts every time.

Watch this Rotax engine cold starting video about a Tanis engine preheat. I know
you don't have a Rotax, but the video will answer all your questions and then
some.
Also close the gap down on your plugs and it will help greatly, but first heat
the engine, but watch the video it is an eye opener.

Another thing to check is the coil gap to the flywheel and close the plugs
up a bit
