Welcome ot the world of the carb. A choke will help if that is indeed the problem. Also sounds like you need some more pratice starting/driving a cold vehicle with a carb too. Chokes are VERY easy to install. You buy one, run the cable from the carb back to the dash/wherever you want it to be. Hook it up and away you go. Make SURE there are NO tight turns in it, if there is you will curse yourself later on.
