Try giving the carburetor a little gas at the throttle arm and make sure the choke plate is wide open. Theres probably a rod that connects the choke valve to the fast idle cam. I actually just tightened the return spring because it was pretty loose. It might fit together ok but stll not allow for full free travel of the lever cam or linkage rod.
One of the ways to get a good starting point is simply to loosen up the choke housing screws on the retainer. Adjust fast idle screw as needed. Some carbs might allow you to install this rod backwards or upside down.
