Can´t get it to idle on it´s own

Just got a 89 Kwaka 550 GT, It´s a bit tatty but does start,It always needs the choke and goes straight up to 6000 rpm the second I touch the starter switch, how long can I leave it at such high revs before i can hope for it to idle on it´s own, or am I doing something wrong, Ireally don@t want to blow it up or sieze it.
Any help & suggestions will be greatly apprieciated,

cheers and safe roads
Stan.
