remove the choke lever shaft & pull the choke valves individually with some pliers to find out which one is seized

Lever slide screw to tight ? Loosen all the mechanism and see if it starts to move freely.

Check linkage is free is so as advised ,check each plunger,if any are stiff removed and very lightly use wet and dry on rotary tool to polish bores,this always happens when carbs have been cleaned and bores not ,the ally tends to fur up.
