Default Cold start hesitation ( 150cc )

Got a new cart for me and my daughter. Its a 150cc gy6 thats bone stock for the moment.
It will start up fairly easily, even cold, its been in the 20's to 50's here day to day.

I noticed that when its cold it will almost stall before moving. I have to hammer the gas and it really doesn't want to accelerate or get past 1500rpm. After a few seconds of this or letting it sit for a long time to really warm up it won't want to move on its own when its first started.

I assume its weak spark energy since it acts normal once its warmed up enough to promote good detonation in the cylinder.

Just wondering what you guys thought about the situation.

Thanks

PS. Also found the stock carb intake ( hard rubber piece ) is cracked and dry rotted. I cant tell that its leaking yet through spraying carb cleaner around it while running but its probably certainly not helping.
