Sounds like your pilot jet is plugged in the carb.

Not sure it's the pilot jet as that is also the idle jet...so if it idles fine after warm-up I'd be looking at the enricher circuit (choke). All the choke does is dump more fuel (rich condition) to assist in initial start-up...my $0.02...

Devil, that sounds more logical, esp if it idles fine.
