Cold weather operations for two-stroke self-launchers?

And how did you handle it, turn back and land? Or resolve the situation in another way? Was engine performance compromised enough to threaten your safety? The engine spluttered and stopped over about 5 seconds. I retracted the engine and did a very abbreviated circuit. My self launcher has a folding propellor and a single switch for up/down, it could have been a bad accident in a more complex self launcher (DG400 etc).
