Why did you unplug the electric choke?
What did it do before you unplugged the electric choke?
The electric choke needs power to open it when it is at low temperatures. If it stays closed the mixture will be rich and your plugs will get wet. Then it will not start.

Check your fuel filter, I recommend getting a clear fram fuel filter because it's easier to see if you're getting fuel. Also you might try some carb cleaner on the carb and adjust your fuel mixture screws on the carb. Worse case scenario you might have a fuel pump that needs replacing if you're not getting enough gas to the carb.
