Is your heat riser valve working?

I originally thought it my be the engine starved for fuel as well but have played around with the choke when this happens and it doesn't matter where the choke is, on or off ( I have a manual choke now). The symptoms are very instant and abrupt when it stalls, it kinda bucks once and the engine instantly dies like the key was turned off. If the engine doesn't die, it's kind of like a random buck then back to normal driving. Very weird..
I've attached pics of the heat riser valve, not sure how to test it. Is it just spring operated and the spring closes on it's own when warm?
