Carburetor icing, or a cold intake manifold will make this worse, too.

Is your heat riser present, and operating properly? In addition, the heat riser directs exhaust up through a cross-over in the intake manifold for mixture pre-heat, and also warms the choke thermostat. If the heat riser isn't closing, or the manifold pre-heat passage is carboned up, there won't be manifold pre-heat, PLUS the choke will stay on way too long.

Is the pre-heat tube from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner snout present?

Do you have a functioning thermostat, and possibly cover part of the radiator to aid warmup?

Like Bob M says, the choke setting on these is critical, and it's almost impossible to get them set where they will work in all seasonal temperatures.
