Default Hard starting SOB...

Trying to figure out why my father's car is so cold blooded. It literally will not start unless I squirt starter fluid into the carburetor. Once running, it runs great. The engine is a freshly rebuilt 400, rebuilt to stock 72' specs. Carburetor was redone by Ken @ everyday performance. He did the Qjet on my 72' Monte Carlo, it was great right out of the box.

I am going to try to reverify the base timing. But, I am also thinking that the choke could be an issue.

Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA
