The issue is probably the lack of vacuum when cranking (rings) that reduces the flow of intake through the carb enough to make it difficult to start. If the rings are worn, the best tactic is to replace the cylinder sleeves and pistons, check the crank for size and put in new bearings. The sleeves are wet, which means easy enough to do as a first time project. We can help. Another issue might be a vacuum leak, but less likely.
