Hard to start cold

My old 1500 carbed bike is for some reason hard to start when it's cold. It runs fine once cranked but it seems to take longer than it use to. The only recent thing I have done that could possibly be related is I added the cam chain extenders and a new fuel filter plus I debaffled again. I also ran a can of seafoam through the last few tanks of gas. Is there anyway the carb could leak down what fuel it has ready to crank? Does it have a bowl with a float? I haven't noticed a leak. The filter I put on is a factory Kawasaki. I also put new plugs in recently. I don't want to take a chance with the Eureka Springs trip coming up soon. :-/
