I've actually been trying to use that method for awhile. But just hasn't been cold enough. Several mornings it's been in the 20's and it seems to help. I also finally had to replace the battery which also helped. But I think there is something to this.Hi folks, I have a 2021 pioneer 700-4 deluxe. Like many here it has been a disappointment with cold weather starting. I have tried the larger battery, plugs, valve adjustment, checking voltage at every point, with no improvement. After I did the valve adjustment, first time, 700 miles and way loose, I attempted to start it. The usual happened lot's of cranking, no start. I pulled the plugs thinking it was flooded but the plugs were dry. So I tried 1/4 pedal and cranked it over about 4 turns, let off the key and released the pedal and cranked it again and it fired right up. I have been cold starting it this way since and it has worked great every time, 17 degrees F out this morning and it started right up doing it this way. Anyway hope it helps someone else.
