pull the choke, start and adjust the choke lever so it idles about 1500 or whatever keeps it running, once it warms up. slide the choke off and go ride.

Bad gas. Drain, refill, retry.
Also, change your spark plugs. Just do it.

Just throw it in the back of a truck and head out to bike night! No reason to start the bike when parking hard, right?

Once you get it sorted.... start the bike every week.
Maybe I got lucky back in the day, but both my carbed bikes never gave me problems starting, granted they were being run every week more than once.
