Not really, specially in MIssissippi. Are you using the choke properly? When turning on the choke, rotate it with your left thumb, then mash the heck out of it until it stops. That first easy rotation is just taking up the slack in the cables.
Then it should start every time. If not, it sounds like weak battery symptoms. The coils on these bikes take a lot of juice. When my battery was getting weak, the bike would actually start After I released the start button. The coils needed that juice that the starter was using.
Let us know what it turns out to be.
