I wonder if the bi-metal spring inside the choke cover is hooked up correctly to
the choke flap operating pin.  I think the choke flap is held open if the spring
is the wrong side of the pin, but I might be remembering it wrongly.

If you remove the cover that side and hook up the spring correctly then replace
with the screws a bit loose, you can turn the choke cover to adjust the choke
flap to match the other.  They should open together when powered up.  The amount
of pre-loading determines the rate at which the choke backs off.
