 Frans,

My first guess...

If you had the float bowl off, check to make sure that the little hole down in
the corner and associated plumbing in that corner is clear.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but the "Choke" isn't really a choke in the 
classic
sense.  Pulling the "Choke" cable rotates a set of valves in the carb which
enable a small enriching carb.  The enriching carb receives its fuel from the
float bowl through that small hole and associated plumbing.  

You will also want to make sure the associated plumbing is clear.

and the brass pipe that you see sticking down out of the carb and which goes 
into
the float bowl.

There may be some sort of blockage in that system preventing fuel flow to the 
enriching
carb

Hope this helps and you can get back to flying your time machine.

Best regards,
Bob Borger
