Hey Nathan. No choke on this carb, just the factory manual throttle I use to set high idle for warm up after starting. It’s not cold here, 40* +. I’ve owned the Jimmy since late 2016 and it normally starts right up after a couple of crank cycles regardless of ambient temperatures. The hard-start problem has gotten gradually worse over the past several weeks. I spent 10 minutes cranking and pumping the gas yesterday before posting looking for help.
