If so there is a good article about servicing etc and the variants of this type of carb for Austin 7s. To read go to the Dorset Austin Seven Club site and click on technical items then onto fuel and finally Zeneth 24T carb. It may help you get to the bottom of things.

Thanks.
Yes I have that article & it is excellent - slight confusion (typo) 24T vs T24! It is a 24T2 part no F1372.

Yes it is new to me. It "ran2 with the previous owner in northern California! Venturi & Jets are as specified by Zenith

Car starts & runs very well, but ONLY if the choke is pulled right out! It stops the moment the choke is released.
I even set off in top in error (forgot which way the 'box was!) and it pulled away smoothly (bit of clutch smoke, so at least it got rid of any oil on the plate!
valves not checked (except to see they weren't stuck), everything else ok...ignition is a DK4A & needs a bit of a tweak I think.

This might be a completely wild guess and insulting your intelligence (sorry) but is the choke connected the right way round?  It almost sounds like pushing the choke in closes it and pulling it out opens it.
