Running rough

Not used my ltd for a while last time was about 3 weeks ago,
so thought id take it for a run yesterday,
was a real bitch to start and when i got it running it was running rough
but running on all 4, and when i revved it up the revs would linger up
for a while then drop back to a tick over.
And even with the engine warm it would only start with the choke on.
Any thoughts guys.

Definitely sounds like a fuel/ carb issue mikey

Tiny bit of water in the fuel,( now in float bowls) or leaks at the carb to head rubber. Did you glue the intake rubbers on? Tighten the jubilees' a little and if it gets worse they may have splits in.
