General rule.

Are there two cables running to the carburetor? You likely have a remotely located choke lever.

One cable running to the carburetor you have a choke pull lever or lift tab on the carburetor itself.

Choke controle may or may not be labeled. It could be the word choke or a symbol that looks like a block capital letter N.

It may have detents at the halfway point making it easy to feel half position or it may not and allow infinite travel between open and closed positions. You need to learn your bike. I only know the X model which has a small silver finger lever on top of the left handlebar above and to the right of the clutch lever.

In the grand scheme of things checking valve clearance is relatively easy on these bikes compared to others. But as a beginner it will all be Greek the very first time.You'll need a relatively inexpensive tool, a feeler gauge and a screwdriver and a wrench from a wrench set; most Chinese bikes use metric sizes. Then a socket and breaker bar to turn the motor over until it's lined up in the correct position to check and adjust the valves. JerryHawk250 on here has videos on the process for China bikes, so do other folks on YouTube. If your engine model number matches those in the Templar resources post that post has the gap sizes posted. If you can watch videos online doing it and tackle a job you'll be good to go, if not ask a friend to show you how and learn that way.
