Is the vaccum choke pull-off operating?, could be diaphram is shot causing a choking, loading up with fuel situation. This unit pulls the choke butterfly open a measured amount once the engine starts, keeping it from choking up with fuel. How about the exhaust crossover in the intake, this heats up choke stove quickly for choke to open, the passage sometimes gets plugged/restricted up with carbon and causes the choke stove to open ever so slowly. The heat riser also aids in this process to force the exhaust through the intake crossover, but it sounds like the vaccum pull-off to me.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
