    Give it about 1 minute for the auto choke to switch off after starting, then pull away.
    If that doesn't work then change the auto choke for a new one

    In that case, go for a choke change. That's the cold start.

    When it doesn't shut off properly, it causes the engine to run rich even when its warmed up. Could just be sticking on longer than needs be but it will gradually get worse. And they can't be opened and cleaned, just replaced. Not expensive to replace, but it is the first place i'd start with those symptoms.
