Welcome to BGW Boone!
LO's answer is a very good one, if it seems that your engine is cranking over slowly!
If the engine is cranking normaly with the choke held in, it just may need a tune up!
(Air, and fuel filters, and a new spark plug)
If the engine doesn't start cranking until the GO pedal is almost 3/4's to the floor,
It just may need a throttle cable adjustment!
and to make it idle...
