New Hawk 250 Owner!

So yesterday I sold a 03 GSX-R 600 for $1100 in Daytona. Right after I went down to Merrit Island and bought 2 Hawk 250s for $1k!!! What a steal right? They are a bit banged up, one needs a rim, but they seem to run, well one of them for sure as of this morning! One problem, I thought the idle screw was the choke. In my defense, I've never had a carburated engine, and the only choke I've ever dealt with was on the 03 GSX-R, but that was more of a cold start idle lever thingy....

Maybe I should look at a thread that tells me exactly what I'm looking for? Does anyone have a link?

Basic use of the choke?
Stock carb setting?

I plan on getting the Mikuni carb for both of them.

Where is the choke on this thing?
