Is it weird to need throttle to start? But runs beautifully Hawkeye 150

G'day

I have a Icebear Hawkeye 150 GY6, and while I haven't messed with the jetting at all I have done an ecr block and emissions removal also the usual like valves, spark plug oil etc

I have a stock, drop in mikuni clone carb from gy6racing I simply dropped in, and it runs perfectly. I'm at sea level, from idle to wide open it runs smoothly and flawlessly with no weird noises or hiccups.

However to start it, it will never start from just the electric starter if it's not already warmed up, I HAVE to give it throttle, and then it'll start and run with no throttle and idle beautifully.

Is this normal or is my carb actually something to fix

Thanks
