95 SPX 657x struggles to start after sitting

When i go to start the ski, i choke it like usual and it fires up after a few seconds, it will stay running if I play with the choke, it likes it about half way but I keep having to adjust it to keep it idling. It idles rough. if I let the choke out it bogs and dies, sometimes if I give it any gas (with or without choke) it’ll start idling high like normal for a few seconds and then, it just bogs and dies as well. If I play with it for a good bit it sometimes will get up to full idle and run fine, just bogs a bit when letting off till its been ran a little bit. Once its running it runs and restarts fine. Im not very experienced with 2 strokes. Plugged jet?, fuel pump bad? Not sure. Any input is appreciated thanks.

Clean the carbs. There are small fuel filters in both of them. They might be gummed up. While you have them open clean it thoroughly. Check your fuel lines. If they are the original grey ones change them out ASAP. Check the fuel filter under your dash. It is mounted to the top and unscrews. It has another filter inside the bowl. Also check your fuel switch. They tend to get gummed up too. That would be a good place to start.
