10 minutes of choke sounds excessive which could be causing the plug problem. It has been known for plugs to get a "whisker" across the electrodes which will make the engine pop and is sometimes caused by poor 2t oil.

Same as Patman, choke out for about a min or so to get it going then back in.

Could it be carb related guys, in need of a clean? Or low compression maybe, would that even affect it not revving out.

Just a few ideas :)

it might be the right way round already, if not, pull the cover off the N/S (2 allen keyys) then set it to fully open, take the exhaust off and look up the port, if its a completely open passage to the cylinder then there's no need to change it, if not slacken the cables from the servo off, undo the bolt on the plastic pulley, prise it off carefully, now twist the metal tab thats attatched to the P.V (might need pliers to get a grip) while looking up the port untill it is flush (fully open)

yea I've been told I need to see whether or not is has been turned 180 degrees by the previous owner, so I know whether or not to turn it

Hey mate, the PV is fully open when the hole in the pulley aligns with the hole in the PV casing. At this point you can check up the exhaust port to see if it needs turning round.

Set it to fully open be slackening the cables and manually turning the pulley.

Edit: This might help dude:
