Welcome to the forums. A little suggestion...you might get a better response if you post your question in the Honda section. Good Luck!!!

Usually when it only runs, idles on choke it means that the pilot jet is clogged. If I were you I would take the carb. apart and clean or rebuild it. Make sure to clean all the passages also. Can't remember where the idle screw is been a while since I had a 400ex.
