Going to buy TX gator, need help

[4x2TX]

Very interested in a gator near me, its a 2007 TX 4x2. It has 528 hours. Dealer said an older guy had it, used it around the house. It looks real nice, no scratches, dents or anything. Is there anything I should look for? One think I noticed, I think it should start better than it does, and when its running I can pull the choke out and it takes 5 seconds or so before it starts missing, shouldn't it start right when I pull the choke? To me it seems like its not choking like it should.

The cable may need to be adjusted. When you lift the bed make sure the choke is closing all the way. You should be able to operate it by hand if it is not.
