The opposite is true. When the plate is vertical and is blocking airflow, it is considered to be on. Also, if the choke is closed when you're idling, it will pop open when you open the throttle, because engine vacuum will force it open. It will only remain closed when you release the throttle. As a test, close the choke and then push the plate with your finger, so that it is open. As soon as you release it, light spring pressure will snap it shut.

Have you actually removed the jets for cleaning?
