I find most carbs of this type will start fine using choke but NO THROTTLE. If you use the throttle at all with the choke on, it'll refuse to start often as not.

If mine is "cold" I use full choke and no throttle, then back off the choke as much as possible as soon as possible, ride off gently straight away and it will run fine on no choke after only 50yds or so.

If it is warm at all, say it's run in the last 5hrs or so, then no choke is required, just a touch of throttle to keep the idle speed up.
