Couple of possible problems, choke is one of them. Throttle valves being out of balance wouldn't help either.

is there a way of letting off the choke cable abit?

Not like that, plungers seize/stick in carbs. Take them out, clean and lube.

i had all them out not that long ago and i greased them all then. As soon as i touch the choke the revs pick up and i thought there should be some free play

Yeah, maybe you don't have cable seated right in splitter?

If everything is seated right then there is a bit of adjustment in the cable, just under the lever, hexagonal bit.
