Kioti LB1914 Hard To Start When Cold

My Kioti tractor is hard to crank when cold, it has 460 hrs on it. I let the glow plug light go out, then it spins easy (even with out the compression release), it will almost start, but will choke out and flood. It usually take 30 minutes to get it to run whne its below 50 degrees.
The man I bought it from kept it inside a heated shop, but he said it was cold natured when he had it too.
I'm afraid to use ether , since it has glow plugs. It has a throttle stop, my buddy (whom I bought it from) suggested trying to pull the throttle stop partly out to reduce the flow of fuel. ??
Could the glow plugs be worn out?
-Thanks,
