Sounds like you had a Great time, Biker meet and greets are always a hoot .
As for the choke, I assume you verified the choke plate is Actually there and is moving Freely thru the entire range of motion from stop to stop?
Assuming the choke plate and linkage is correct The next thing would be a vacuum leak and considering the bikes history i would suspect ALL of the Rubber vacuum connections and hoses especially where they interact with the carb/'s.
In the past when cash was tight Ive used a pure silicon plumbers grease to lightly coat the rubber lines and O-rings. This grease permeates the rubber which helps revive the material and temporarily "plugs" any small leaks good enough to diagnose the problem section plus it leaves the treated surfaces looking much better then they were. Its cheap and has saved me a bit of time more then once when hunting down the source of the problem.
You could also lightly spary some water on the vacuum system, lines and around the carb mounts with the bike running and choke on to diagnose a vacuum leak if you prefer that route. Either way you go I wish you luck and will be waiting to read what the problem was.
