Question
Starts after several pulls and have to let idle for about a minute, if I gas it it bogs down. After it warms up it works fine. Thanks in advance.

Answer
It's fairly normal for a 2-stroke to need to warm up for a minute or three.  If it takes more than 5 pulls to start, it might need a tune-up or the carburetor being rebuilt.  Try using a product called SeaFoam in your gas and see if this helps any.  It's available at auto parts and hardware stores.  Thanks, PK.
