I understand that closing the choke and pumping the throttle at the same time may be redundant; I was soliciting information on the OP’s situation.
It was an inquiry, not a recommendation. At the time of my post we had very little to go on ; I was just trying to get the ball rolling.

Jim has now told us that the choke and throttle cables appear to be functional, but has not said anything about the use of the choke.

I yield the floor to Mr Lincoln , it’s all yours.
So’s the ball.
