I know exactly how your machine feels! I don't like to start either, be it in the morning, after a break even more so after lunch.
I have a 1974 “Green light” machine that is hard starting, don't remember it being so hard before having Murphy switch installed. When it starts it acts like it is only running on 3 cylinders for a few seconds, but then takes right off. Machine has a new Zenith carb, new (copper core) plug wires, and extremely good spark, with very good compression! Just one of those things I guess!
My 1966 Redface starts with just a bump of the button, with no choke.
My 1954 6-volt system it starts really well but needs to be choked.
My 1948 12-volt system starts very well also, but needs to be choked.
There is something to be said about slower revolution starters with a magneto. Friend of mine use to have a shorthood with only a hand crank, fired right off no matter the weather! Seems to be no rhyme nor reason to these old girls, they all have their quirks.
