Default Cold weather starting

My YS 91FZ normaly starts easily in the warmer weather, but the last few times out it has been a real struggle to get started. The temps latey have been 10°F to 15°F. I've checked my glow starter and it is hot. I assume ( yeah, I know ) that it's the temperature that is making it hard to start. Are there any tricks to make starting easier? Some one said to prime the engine with a little lighter fluid. Good idea or bad? I normaly prime it with a small amount of fuel ( Cool Power 30% ) during warmer weather and it starts right up. Oh, I already tried a new glow plug, an OS #F. That didn't help.
Thanks,
Paul
