I had same problem with my choke - which turned out to be water running down choke cable into top of the carb, and rusting up the barrel that slides/adjusts choke. Trace your choke cable to the brass bolt on top of your carb, give it a good clean. Hope this helps. Where about's in Wales are you? I used to live in Mold - North Wales.
