Running cold

I have owned my Columbia with an atomic 4 for 3 seasons in the north east. The temp is always at 120... I can raise the temp by reduceing the sea water entering the pump. Once the motor starts I push the choke all the way in but until recently it has never stalled. Now it stalls until it runs for a few minutes. .. once the motor warms up it dosnt Stall. Not sure if I should be alarmed with this or if it is a trait of an atomic4. Should I keep it chocked for a while and is it ok to run at 120 if I don't. Have any issues
