When cold, the fast idle cam is, or should, come into play.
Initially I would suspect the mechanism is not working correctly.

Auto choke is the standard fitting.
When your engine is cold press the pedal down to set the auto choke. Then go back to the engine compartment and check that the cam on the carb to check that it is set to highest step.
