Pump throttle as mentioned above and fire her up! It just got down to 26 degrees last night in my town. I will give you my trick if its a real pain to start. Use a blow dryer and heat up the carb lol. I learned from an old dodge (go figure) guy

#1 thing to help. Old starts.  Don't rely on an old battery.   5 years is considered end of life for lead acid flooded cell bateries under ideal conditions.   Ideal conditions are seldom seen in real life.  Sometimes you can get away with using one longer,  but it's capacity and capabilities are not what they were when new.  It often does not take anywhere near that to start an engine, so everything seems fine.  When it's cold it takes a lot more, and cold drastically reduces the capability in addition to the age effects and the higher demand of the cold engine.
