They each have their own personality! My old '43 H needs about 1/2 choke to start when it's really cold, then a little less after it starts. My '49 M wants NO choke until it fires, then it wants choke, and fast! My '52 SM wants no choke until it's nearly 0 degrees, then only a little, and likes to run just above idle for a couple of minutes before it wants to do anything.

One thing I haven't heard mentioned on this board for a long time is the cold-weather trick of opening the throttle just slightly AFTER the engine is shut off, and leaving it that way until it's started the next time. Under humid conditions and temps that drop below freezing, condensation can form on the throttle plate and freeze it in the closed postion. That can make starting the next time a real challenge.
