Clean the pilot circuit if it has one and adjust the choke proper.

Wouldn't hurt to clean the fuel tank like a new one, as in spotless. New fuel line from tank to carb. Make sure you have a solid stream of fuel AT the carb inlet. Drain it in a glass jar. Also look for water in the bottom of the jar.

Your symptoms normally point to a choke that isn't closing all the way. Check and make sure the choke is actually fully closed when starting cold.
