Probably yes, just a bit. I use about 1/3 choke whenever the engine is "cold", regardless of the outside temperature.

Then, we need to define "turn over". That term usually means that the starter turns the engine, as in, you can hear things moving. I think you mean it "won't fire" which is when the engine actually begins to run. I also give mine just a tiny bit of throttle as it starts to turn over; don't know if that helps any but it is an old habit.
