Hi Shane, can I ask what conclusion you have reached and how you are getting on with a solution? Starting without choke suggests it's running too rich, most commonly sticking choke plungers/cables but possibly dirty air filter. The spark plugs are probably fouled (sooty/wet) but once it has fired (and misfired) enough times the excess fuel burns off the plug and it will run better. This is just a suggestion from my experience but may help.
