What exactly does "purged the carb with cleaner" mean ??
Did you drain the bowl in the process ??
You could have a weak battery causing it not to turn over fast enough and making the spark weak.
I think you need:
More choke when cold.
Maybe a little faster idle speed too.
Some carb cleaner IN the gas.
After running it down a couple of times, probably a new battery too.
AND......do NOT touch the throttle until it actually fires up. Opening the throttle defeats the choke.
