Granted, every engine is different, but any well-tuned gas engine should start at one-fourth throttle. Higher settings cause more engine wear, because the engine is cold and the oil is not circulating to the crank bearings. Doesn't matter if you pull the choke before cranking- the choke does not add gas- it reduces air flow, and that does not happen until cranking starts. Some engines, when started in cold weather might still need a bit of choke for a minute or so. If you've cranked with choke to the point where you smell gas- you've flooded it, and it is not likely to start until you let it set for a time. Generally a few seconds of choke is enough. If you need to wait, hook up a battery charger- batteries have very little power at cold temps and run down soon.
