Default hard cold starting

I have an 82 kz550 ltd. If the engine is cold, I have a extemely hard time getting it to start. Full choke and wide open throttle are the only way it will fire. Once the bike is warmed up, it starts and runs fine Any suggestions?

Doesn't the full choke and full throttle counteract each other? Check your low speed circuit for cleanliness. And your cable adjustment.
