she is a cold natured witch
this hawk is very cold natured to get going. full choke and you still have to hold throttle open or it dies then after 3 minutes or so you can go to half choke but still have to give it a little throttle. takes 10 minutes to idle on its own without choke. is this just needing to adjust the hidden mixture screw.

All of what Merlin suggests are valuable suggestions. I would also check the head to carburetor nuts. If there is an air leak on the intake side, it could cause these problems.

Yes, mine were loose. all 4 carb to intake and intake to head, not sure that's what fixed it, but with the mixture screw turned out to 1.5 and the bolts tightened it idles a lot better and faster warm up.

Mine was the same way. Once I turned out the idle mixture screw 1 1/2 turns and shim the needle with 2 washers it starts and idles without the choke. It's been warm here. I sure once it gets cold I will need to choke it.
