I spoke to a carby shop. They said that because I've plugged the air heater thing (the heatshield over exhaust into airbox section) that it could be causing the whole thing to be too cold.

I can't surely be the only one that's plugged this? Otherwise we'd all have water in engine at any crossing...

Does anyone know how the automatic choke is activated? Is there a thermostat somewhere for it?
You're definitely not the only one with the stove/ heater pipe plugged mate.

I've had mine plugged for ages without issue. (Had a different issue recently with idle but I believe completely unrelated), likely to be dirty fuel in the idle circuit. I have not found any adverse affects from plugging the pipe many months ago, no affect on choke operation at all.
