1984 CJ7 Starting Issue - Need Help

Second Post Ever
The Facts:
I have a 1984 CJ7 that is basically stock in the engine compartment. From what I can tell the previous owner replaced the alternator, fuel pump, distribute, spark plugs.
The Problem:
When I go to start my Jeep it struggles to start unless I engage the electric choke or give it gas while it is turning over. This happens every time except for times when the jeep had been recently running and then restarted. Battery reads at 12v. Im thinking its something to do with the fuel system/carb. I have seen other threads of people saying that the fuel is draining out of the lines while the car is sitting, but they were all on on non-stock carbs. My jeep is basically all stock.
I am not a huge engine head, but willing to learn and do the work myself. Any ideas or questions just write me back. I posted two pictures of the engine compartment along with this just in case you guys see anything i dont.
Thanks
