Knock choke back gradually. Once warm it would start straight away. My previous one was pretty much the same. Weather made no difference, only engine temp. So even in summer I always opened the choke and closed the throttle to start.Mine was exactly the same. If the engine was warm, the starter button on its own, if cold, choke, starter and a bit of throttle to help it catch.
