No Cold start
84 accord, 1.8 (carb) I've been having an issue with starting and runing at colder temps. It'll fire right up during the day and run fine. But as night comes it wont crank 2 save a life. Im woundering if it could possibly be fuel pump going bad since gas is thicker at colder temps. Anyideas would be great

You're in Florida so it's still warm. Sounds like insufficient choke issue
which will get worse fast as weather cools down.
On some/many carb'd cars, to start when cold, you had to set the choke first.
With engine off, set choke by pushing the gas pedal (kind of) slowly, but fully to the floor once, once only, and release.
After, then try to start car; car will idle very fast at start.
