Need to open throttle to start

[buzzscooter]

I've had my 150 for about a month and a half and right from the start I discovered that I need to open the throttle a little to get it started and then keep it open a little for a few seconds after it starts. Once its been running for a few seconds, I can release the throttle and it idles without any problems. Is this normal? I don't mind doing it, but I have to be careful I don't give it too much gas after starting or it starts to take off on me.

I was thinking that I might need to adjust the idle screw on the carb, but since it seems to be idling OK, I'm not sure that it's the right answer.:confused: Any ideas?

Not terribly out of the ordinary. I think a low idle is used so the bike won't move on you. But yes, sometimes a little throttle is needed.
