I'm having a tough time getting my Rhino started when its cooler outside, seems like if the temp is below 50 it wont start,choking it doesnt help,starting fluid doesnt help, the only way it will start is if I put propane to it. I'm going to go through the carb tomorrow at work hope I find something there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like the pilot jet might be partly plugged. a good carb cleaning would not hurt in any case.

how do the filters look (air + gas)? sounds like it is starving for gas or air.

op never posted reply on what he found.
what weight of oil are you using? cold temps might need a 5w40 or 0w30 to let it turn fast enough.
