My two cents worth,
New engine, rebuilt carb, new spark etc. still cranky starter in Winter.
New top notch battery - WOW! Perfect starting, better running - life is
sweet. (Engine still cold blooded, but thats ok once it is running :-))

To get it to reliably start on a cold morning,
Buy a brand new top dollar 550CCA battery. Stop stuffing around trying to
get it going without one, all you will do is wear out your electrics and
your starter motor/ring gear. It should fire up as soon as you hit the key
if everything is mechanically and electrically ok.
