Running with the choke pulled = fouled spark plugs , clean and gap or replace plugs
Setting for a couple of months = corroded points , clean and gap points
Cold starting set GAV 1/2-1 turn open, left lever up, right lever down 2-3 clicks, fuel valve open/on, ignition on, pull choke out, push starter button, 2-3 turns of the engine push choke in, engine should be running, adjust idle speed with right lever as needed to keep running, pull the left lever down 3-4 clicks , then turn GAV 1/4-1/2 open
