Try not to use E10.

The car should start without choke. Just pump once before you start, and twice or three times while you start (not more before, the fuel may clog up inside the intake and cause backfire). Once running, let it idle at 1.500rpm+ for a bit (your neighbours will hate you...)

Close the intake scoop on your hood for winter, if you have one.

Be careful with the throttle. Cold tires in winter on cold roads will cause them to loose traction even in last gear at half throttle going 100kph...
