If there's a 'choke pull-off' device on the carburettor, that's probably failed and needs to be removed.
Once it gets down to freezing, you
will need the choke for reliable starting.

I once drove all the way into Leeds to sort out a car which 'wouldn't start' in mid-winter, only to find out that it started inmediately when the choke was used.
The owner had decided to follow her ex-husband's advice never to use the choke, so you can guess my response...
123, since you asked.

we have been told to dab pedal twice use no choke and turn over and catch with another dab of throttle and it works for us
did try choke when we first got dyane but that made it nye on impossible to start
the car does have a 123 electronic ignition
which ignition system has cold start problems of running on one cylinder then ken
