I don't remember any personal experience in this field, but I think the
problem could be in two areas: either the choke cable is sticking, in which
case you could try lubricating it first. Or just replace it - it's not a
high cost item. The problem might also be the cable end kinking at the carb
when you push the choke back in.
Or it's a restriction at the carb side. Undo the cable and check the choke
axles, return springs and free movement of the butterflies.

No no no, onlookers can't be anything but impressed with that bonnet, every
time you open it. After all, who has a bonnet like that these days, eh? ;-)
