Sounds like your choke might be jammed. have a look down your carb while the engine is running, there will be a flat plate partially blocking the primary throat. Give the accelorator bracket a quick flick and let the return spring bring it back, see if the plate turns vertical to unblock the primary. If it doesn't then that may be your problem.
Have you played with the idle at all ? It's the little flat tip headed screw just behind the accelorator cable bracket. Screw it in slightly to raise idle and out to lower idle (I may have it the other way around, but once you start turning it you will hear the revs rise or drop, so screw it accordingly).
There is another screw sort of near it that is a philips head style with a spring around it's shaft - don't touch this one as it will mess with your air/fuel ratio.
