I would check the adjustment on your choke. If its having problems starting try richening the mixture. There should be some arrows on the choke cap that will show you which way richens and leans. If that doesn't work then check and make sure the linkage is working properly. The choke should engage if you press the gas once, if not then there may be some binding somewhere.
