Thanks, I will try the choke adjustment and look into switching the petcock to prime temporarily. I did notice on my bike is has only 2 positions, ON and PRIME. No off or in between. After yesterday, I let it sit on the charger for 4-5 hours, until the light was green. Today was warmer, about 45F. Warm for winter at least. Decided to take it to work, and of course, w slight choke, it fired up first try. I guess I'm getting somewhere. I did use some Berryman's b12 in the tank, so maybe that helped, coupled w the charged battery.
