Will not start cold

Have a hyster S40XM that will not start in the mornings unless you put you hand over the air intake side of the carb an choke it down. After that it starts every time. The LPG regulator ,the LPG filter ,and the diaphragm in the carb has been replaced. Any ideas on what may be my problem?

Have you checked the valve adjustment? Tis can effect the starting cold.
