I think that's probably it. Our lawn mower is the same - if it hasn't run for a while and I use the normal choke position I end up taking the plug out and drying it. Now I just use full throttle until it kicks and then add the tiniest bit of choke and usually off it goes.
Last week we did the first cut. I already had a knackered arm from rodding a drain so I cheated and gave it a blast of easy start. It did.
