Probably some kind of corrosion has formed in the choke plunger/bore area. Remove the choke plunger/cable from the top of the carb and clean out the corrosion. Use a fine wool cloth or similar stuff to wipe off the surface of the plunger and the bore. Make sure you do following to prevent future failure:
1). Rubber boot must be sealed up completely on top of the choke plunger.
2). O-ring must be in a good shape.
3). Stretch the spring a bit to regain the tension. Better yet, you may install a stronger spring (higher K value) with the same dia if you can find it.
4). Spray some WD-40 into the plunger bore.
Good Luck.
