cam and crank sensor can also contribute to poor starting

k finally sorted it ... because id only ran it 200m down the road the plugs had wetted and put like a varnish on them fooked em up... dont know why or how put 4 new plugs in and its fine except for this cold start water temp issue that everyone seems to have hope it helps someone else though ... there was a spark to the eye but very weak
