I ran the TR6 today, got the engine good and hot and I will let it cool down tonight and retorque tomorrow. While I was running it I noticed that the bike would only idle if the choke was on (choke slide down in the carb and no tension on the choke cable) Mixture screw was about 1 3/4 to 2 turns out when I noticed the revs slightly increase. If I'm riding the bike under throttle I can raise the choke and the bike is ok, but when I stop it stalls.

Tomorrow, after I re-torque everything I'm going to check the valve clearances and put a timing light an it again to make sure it's OK ( I have a boyer on it) then where do I go??? Shouldn't I be able to start the bike without having the choke on? Or will it always need to warm up. I looked at my carb throttle and jets and they are standard according to my manual: main jet 230, needle position 2.
