idling problem

I am still having trouble getting my truck to idle when it first turns over. after it worms up, it idles fine on its own. i'm guessing the choke is the problem. the carb has been rebuilt so its not anything internally wrong. i adjusted the idle and didn't really mess with the mixter, but that wouldn't be the problem i don't think if it idles fine after its warm. i'm not sure where to locate the choke. if its on the left of the right side of the carb while looking at it from the front of the truck. and where to possibly buy a new one or check my old one
thanks in advance

Not knowing what kind of carb you are running, I'll assume it a problem with the high idle adjustment .The choke is on the passenger's side of the truck.
