Thanks Scott. I am not sure if the pump in the plane is an accelerator pum
p=2C I will check. A few aviator friends have mentioned the Optima batteri
es which have significantly higher crank capacity.

Do you have an accelerator pump on the carb? It should on a 320 or larger.
It pumps some extra fuel in to accelerate the engine when you increase th
e throttle. You can pump the throttle a few times while the engine is cran
king to get some more fuel into the dense cold air. You do not want to pum
p too much or pump with the engine stopped since fuel will drip out of the
carb.
You could always go to fuel injection. I like my silverhawk setup.
Also=2C if you do not already have one=2C a modern battery like the Oddessy
batteries in aircraft spruce should give you more cranking power for the s
ame weight and size.

I have a Lycoming O320 in my TR1 and I am having a difficult time starting
it during these cold mornings. I am not sure if it is due to a low crankin
g capacity battery or the lack of a primer. I do have an electrical fuel p
ump. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions or recommendations
? Thanks.

The FAA has issued an AD for a particular carburetor installed on many Lyco
ming engines. Check and make sure you don't have one of the affected carbur
etors on your engine.
Here is a link to the AD: http://www.eaa.org/news/2012/2012-03-07.pdf
