I don't understand the choke enough to be able to tell you if it is working

The choke is the plate on the top of the carb that should be near closed on a cold morning to create a better vacuum underneath so that more gas is sucked into the intake for easier starting. As the engine warms up, that choke plate will gradually open all the way. If , as you mentioned, it is hard to start in the mornings but easy during the day then this is the first thing to check. It can be adjusted so that it "chokes" more or less air increasing or decreasing the extra gas being provided. -WL
