my experiance with carb'ed cars are all the same way, on a cold morning i pump one 3 times the crank it and it will start but i have to keep my foot on the pedal til she takes gas on her own.

It sounds like your choke might be stickin. If it keeps doin it open the hood and see if the chock is all the way open after it warms up,or u could have a vaccum leak.
