I don't have a choke on my carb, not sure if you do or not but if you do you might want to check to see if it's working or needs adjustment. I turn the motor over and gently start tapping the accelerator to pump squirts of fuel into the manifold. I guess by letting up on the pedal it kind of works like a choke keeping the throttle plates closed. When it gets enough fuel to start it fires up. Usually 3-4 taps. When warm I turn it over and then start tapping again. If it floods I hold the pedal down and keep turning over. Usually will start one way or another.
