Well, first of all, if it is as cold in Watertown as it is in Green Bay, that is half your problem right there. I always start mine in the basement and let it warm up a little before I take them out in the cold. Or else you could use a heat gun or blow dryer to warm up the engine first. I would put all your settings back to where they were, warm it up, then try running it outside. I really wouldn't recommend breaking it in till it warms up, its only 5 deg. here and thats a little chilly to break it in IMO. If it was running fine before, this would be my guess as to whats wrong.
That very cold weather will suck the heat right out of that glowplug and that could be the problem.
