I have a 1994 arctic cat puma i always have to put gas down the cylinders to get it running?

i have a 1994 arctic cat puma and everytime i start it i have to put gas down the cylinders to get it running but once its warmed up it will start up fine. I didnt a fast cleaning job of the carb. Any reason for this like a fuel pump or something that will make my sled do this only when its cold|||Make sure you have fresh fuel. Sounds like the choke or primer is not working properly. Check the primer lines, might have a blockage or pinhole. Make sure compression and crank seals are good. Clean the carb properly and thoroughly - maybe by a professional. Good luck!|||Try a squirt of starting fluid on the air intake. Available at truck stops and auto parts stores. Do not inhale it, it's ether. It's very volatile, which is why it works.|||Adjust the choke. If that doesn't help, do as heidi suggested and check carb a little better. Probably a blocked passage.
