Based on what I've learned from the Mikuni on the Aprillia, there are a couple of places to look. The 'O' ring on the choke plunger - a leak here will stop the choke working initially, until there is enough depression (ie the engine running) to overcome the leak.  And around the choke cable guide where it enters the carb.  Also, you don't have a leak around your repaired brass pipe do you?

Unfortunately, I have a coroners court appearance on Friday afternoon.  I'm being asked to give my opinion on my friend's riding ability before his accident.
