I assume it is a thermally controlled choke??

If it had an electric choke it would be a touch quicker to respond, but a thermally controlled choke needs to get heat in the manifold and to the carb. before it will open fully and lean out.

I'd just deal with it in the winter since it will operate just fine when it warms up.
