Get some carb choke cleaner spray and spray the crap out of it. USe up the whole can. Let it dry before you try to start it.

THe choke is usually a fairly large cylindrical piece mounted to the carb. A lot of times you have to remove it and take it apart to clean it out. If I were you I would just rebuild the carb. The kit from Honda should be pretty cheap, and it will come with new float, jet, gaskets. You will probably get better gas mileage too.

i don't think it needs a complete rebuild, it looks clean and only has 60,000 on it.....
