For a Jeep to start consistently on the first crank is not usual. They are not electric fuel pumps. I would suggest you have a carb that's leaking fuel slightly, thus priming the engine while it sits. Two weeks worth of sitting overprimed it, resulting in a slightly flooded condition. The choke would not have made that better.

Your car at home, with it's electric fuel pump and computerized engine system has the capabilities of having the right mix of fuel at the intake based on the temps and conditions....your old Jeep does not.
