Varnished carb circuits are very likely. A carb service may be called for, petcock internal inspection as well.
When spring riding season hits....expose it to some "Italian tuneups" ....perhaps the Berrymans will clear it. If not, you'll be exploring the inner workings of your little Keihin carpotatoes.
You in New York? Upstate? Downstate?

Thanks, I'm on Long Island. I was hoping I could get away with not taking the carbs apart as everything else on the bike looked mint, including the old plugs. I figured it was just running lean, and not getting enough gas on cold starts.
For the record, when I say cold starts, I mean COLD. Not you let it sit overnight in 70F temps and it gave you issues the next morning. I only experience these hard to start issues when it sat for multiple days in 30F weather. So that being said, part of this problem has to be normal, right? After all, it's a carbureted vehicle tuned for warmer weather.
