Jeep is hard to start in the morning or first start of day and if it is parked 1 1/2 to 2 hr. You have to start all over again. After jeep is running its all ok but if you hit the brakes to fast it also wants to turn off at lest tell it warms up all the way.

It sounds like your choke in the carb is not working or set correctly.
