Default cold blooded

Would like to know if it is normal to need to continue using the choke while the engine warms up, after it is warm, it seems to run fine. I do open the gav about a turn when starting.

If it's cold I have to pull the choke a little a couple times during the first 30 to 60 seconds.
After a couple minutes I can close the GAV from the 1 1/2 turns open for the cold start.
