Mine starts up pretty good in the mornings. I have a manual choke so I just pull that out and she fires right up.

It needs a choke. With a choke mine fires instantly, even when it's 15 deg F outside.

Either mechanical or electrical. Does your carb have provisions for a choke? Or is there no choke tower?
