1979 fxe 80" L3S CAM 8:1 CR -- S&S super E

never did this last year -- when it get cold like now where its 43 out its super hard to start -- i thought it was because cold weather made the push rods tighter so i re-adjusted loose .. it sounds like it has dropped a cylinder mis fires. after a few tries it finally fires up-- im thinking the crane ignition or the coil.. any ideas?? after its running it runs like a bat out of hell and always starts --
