Sure sounds like it doesn't.
Or even if it does and it's working the high idle might not be set.
This sound suspiciously like the post where the person never had a carbed engine before and didn't know you have to pump the gas once or twice to get some fuel in the engine and get the choke set.
On my own car its twice to the floor and hit the key and it fires up RIGHT NOW.
One more tap of the pedal brings the idle down to 1,200 RPM and I let it run right there for a couple of minutes.
