1500 hard starting issue

I'm having some issues starting in the cold. I have the AMC 258 engine with adjustable carb. New plugs, new distributer cap, new wires, new fuel filter. When started it runs GREAT. But when it's cold (below 20° or so), it takes several minutes of cranking (not continuous of course). I installed a second battery too. Dumping a little gas in the carb helps, but there's certainly a fix that I'm missing. Seems like a fuel flow issue, but I could be wrong. Any tips?
 
That makes sense because to get it off high idle I have to hammer the throttle, which could mean the choke might not have free movement.
