50 idle problem.....QUESTION

for some reason the 50 wont stay idleing...runs fine with the choke on....but when i turn the choke off after i warm it up...it just kinda dies. It runs fine while riding it, but you need to keep reving it to keep the engine going...

What the ****s the deal here? Could it be that its just been SOOOOO cold out latley...like 10 below to 15 above everyday????? that have anything to do with it? or may it be something else?
