problem from the cold?

i am hate to say it, but my only problem as far as i know is the butterfly valves probably weren't set up properly. in my defense i havent been messing with cars for more than a year, and this is my first car, not to mention carborator. i have had little to no help from family and learnin it as i go, so yeah. i also sprayed the carborator down a lot with carb and choke cleaner. mabe that helped too.
