Ahhh, now I see where I'm going wrong! I'm causing confusion, I'm sorry!!

I'll describe it again using the correct terminology....

From cold, (and it IS cold, frosty) I have to start the bike with choke closed. After a couple of minutes the bike warms enough to idle with out choke (open). When riding, revs are limited to a couple of thousand revs, but if I reach down and close the choke a little, then the full rev range is restored.

So I'm aware that the carb needs attention, and I'm presuming that it needs re-jetting as the mix appears to be wrong. From that description, would you guys agree?

(sorry for the confusion, I had totally the wrong idea about describing the choke action!!)
