oh oh, I must be wording it wrongly!

let's clarify, in the default position, I consider the choke 'closed'.
If the engine is cold, I move the lever from the default 'closed' position, to allow more (air? fuel? one of the two!) through.

This is exactly what I have to do while riding to get the bike to rev further through the rev range.

There's no actual choke cable on the bike, just the little lever on the side of the carb, so I can't operate the choke as well as I should be able to.

As soon as the bike is warm, it ticks over ok without any help from the choke. but it won't rev through the whole range WITHOUT me operating the choke.

Clear as mud eh?
