cold start aids

I just wanted to see if anyone here had any tips on something I might be able to add to my tank to help cold starts. I just bought my truck, and I am still new to the carb'd lifestyle, but the little 250 doesn't seem to like to fire up in the mornings, checked the plugs they all seem good, every morning I wake up, pull the choke, pump the gas twice, turn the key, it fires, stumbles, and dies......after that, if I don't spray starter fluid down the carb, it won't start......short of rigging up a hose attached to a can of starter fluid directly to the carb, does anyone have any advice to avoid having to pop the hood in the mornings and afternoons when it comes time to leave work the jealousy factor of having one of these trucks decreases quite a bit when people see me having to pop the hood before I leave work.

Thanks
