From what you're saying it must be the choke staying open. Try removing the cable and stretcking the spring a little, make sure there isn't a piece of dirt in the way. I had this problem years ago with my mugello and it took me ages to sort out (small piece of grit stopping the rubber pad from sealing the choke jetholder end)
Best of luck.
Help! Urgent. Why has my scoot started running too rich?

This is probably what happened.
It's always been a little bit rich and the float being half full of petrol and the filter being mucky didn't help. The choke cable then got crushed causing it to get stuck open. I then made up a new outer choke cable. The little plunger was going up and down and it all looked fine. However, with the carb in place and the cable bent, it must have been opening the choke just a fraction. I chopped a mm off of the outer cable and it now runs a treat.
I must have checked that bloody cable and the choke a dozen times but it always looked like it was working fine.
Hooray. Off to Brighton tomorrow for the Ace Cafe Brighton Burn-up.
