'cause my symptoms are the same whether the engine is cold (choking) or hot (choke open).

From testing the pull-off yesterday I'd say "yes, it's not working 100%" but once the engine warms up (driving 1/2 hour) and the choke is open it shouldn't matter should it?

Are you sure that the choke is opening all the way. If the butterfly is not all the way off of the closed position, then you could be overfueling your engine and the choke pull-off is the part that does that. That situation would happen, even if your engine is hot. At least start there and make sure the choke is not the problem.
