A couple of things to try.  If you have a priming lever on your fuel pump, use
that to make sure your float bowls are full.  If you have battery charger,
make sure your battery is fully charged and see if that affects your starting.
If your battery is weak, causing slow cranking, it may also be causing a weak
spark.  If your choke isn't working well, that could create a too-lean mixture
(which would exacerbate a weak spark problem).
