    choke off?

    first make sure throttle cable is lubed. throttke handle is clean and lubricated with graphite . and cable is adjusted properly.
    is linkage binding clean that area too.

    make sure the throttle cable is routed properly with no odd bends.
    clamps on carbs installed correctly?

    have you bench synced the carbs? if you had them off.
    done a running sync?

    time to check for vacuum leaks nipples all covered ? how do your carb boots look

    Throttle cable all good and choke off . Vac leak is a possibility as the nipples seam very lose and boots don’t look (as tight) as the should . The boots are new so I’ll try getting new clips for the boots and nipples and try that , thank you for your comment much appreciated
