Maybe, maybe not.

The rear choke plunger is easy to get at, it's on the right side of the rear carb. The screws can be difficult to remove if they haven't been out before and lubricated. A gentle tap with a small hammer can help.

Usually you'll find white corrosion around the cable end and choke plunger when you carefully withdraw it from the carb body. It doesn't take much to prevent the plunger from returning fully when the choke lever is closed, the spring is quite small.

The front one is much more difficult to get at, and really requires the carbs to be taken off the engine, not a difficult job and worth the effort.
