Choke linkage.
Next morning when the engine is cold ,go out and take the air cleaner assembly off.
Now while pulling on the linkage as if you're pushing the pedal sown see if the choke butterfly on top of the carb CLOSES leaving about a 1/8" space.
If not ,you could have linakges binding or in need of adjustment.
All of these things you mentioned are choke related.
