Guess you got this used
Start with a fresh spark plug cleaned air filter ensure the air box is properly seated to the carb
Make sure the vacuum line is good as well as the fuel line

If it has been sitting a long while fresh gas might be helpful.

Yes choke can cause a hard start no start issue
I would still double check all the stuff I mentioned before
Rule of thumb with a 2 stroke any issue new plug and clean the air filter and make sure the air box is hooked up right
These things were built to run on cheap gas
I work in the fuel industry and unless you go to a station that the high octane is on its own hose and and Doesn't mix for mid grade you are getting almost a gallon of what ever the last guy pumped
