Ya it sounds like your Idle Rpm's are too low. Try to raise your idle speed.

well, i'd definitely make sure its burning normally(pull plugs and check to make sure its a brownish color). it sounds lean and the choke just adds the extra fuel to make it run. its probably because it sat for so long and may have tons of gunk built up in the carb. I'd pull the carb off personally and make sure it got rebuilt just to be safe. You could always just try adjusting the carb too and see where u stand.
