Choke issue 1977 GS550

[PAGS550]

when attempting to cold start,choke on push starter, fires right up goes to high rev, then dies out. It's like fuel supply when on choke is restricted. I have to start choke off and a shot of ether, it then fires right up and as long as i keep it running with the throttle it warms up quickly and runs awesum...ride as long as i want , excellent runner no acceleration issues or idle issues...shut off for periods of time and it restarts excellentNO CHOKE.....but if its gets cold...same routine...i am running sea foam in it... is it possible that fuel is flowing well everywhere except when choke is on????

Yes

It sounds like you need a good carb cleaning

and probably a valve adjustment
