318 Won't Start without the use of ether

Hello!

This is my first post after my I purchased my first tractor yesterday. Picked up an 1988, 318. The previous owner was using ether to start the tractor which I've read is not a good idea. Once the tractor is running it's fine. A little smokey but fine. The carburetor seems to have some oil in it. Not sure if it's just a little dirty or a clue to the starting issue. Previous owner has the engine rebuild by the local JD dealer in 2010. Spent a heft $3200 to have it done.

Since the tractor runs once it's started with ether but won't start on it's own any ideas what the problem could be? I wonder if the choke has some kind of issue.

Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
