I agree in that I'd be looking at choke adjustments if it were mine.
Carburetors & chokes are not really plug-and-play devices, they are mechanical and often require some tuning and adjusting for them to work correctly in any given environment.

Modern televisions, yes....
Jeff - Do you remember the kind that had an on/off/volume ****, and two tuner ***** - VHF & UHF?
Wait, I forgot... those things also had several hidden ***** or screwdriver adjustments... Horizontal Hold, Brightness, sometimes Contrast, etc. etc. etc.

I remember when TV's only had VHF (2-13), only the high end sets also had UHF.

Ever take a magnet, hold it up next to the screen with the TV turned on, and move it around and distort the picture?
My parents loved me for that one!

If you get your choke adjusted and still have a problem sometimes its probably icing up inside the of your carb. That happens when the hoses from the exhaust manifolds to the air cleaner have been removed and not put back and the carb doesn't get warm air on cold humid mornings. Once the engine warms the carb it will usually run fine..
