There's some confusion as to which way you're moving the lever. If you look at the carbs there are some little plungers that are pulled out or pushed back in by an armature as you work the choke lever. Those plungers should be all the way in when the bike is warmed up and running. They should be pulled out to assist a cold start. The chokes on these bikes are actually enricheners and are adding extra fuel to the mix. I wouldn't run a bike like this all the time. It could foul your plugs if it's too rich, but mostly it's indicative of a bigger problem. Most likely misadjusted or blocked fuel path in the carbs or filters.
