That's called (a choke) to start your engine.

So I should close the carb hole when its starting up and open it when it gets going?

Yeah that's kind of the idea if your engine won't start you can close it a quarter of the way a half of the way and then when it starts you easy back to all the way open that's basically what it's for just to stop a little bit of air flow give you a little more gas so that it gets the engine going and then you open it back up so that's kinda gets the general idea

Because ideal air : fuel ratio is partially based on temperature. When the engine is cold, often a richer mixture (choked) will help it start. Choking isn't always necessary, but it's there if you need it.
