To test the choke you just hook one side to the Pos. on a 12v bat and the other to the Neg. Measure how far the plunger is before and after the power is applied. I think it should extend about 4mm, the choke will get warm while doing this.
I doubt that it's your electric choke, the buggy would still start up and run with a bad one. It just wouldn't run right once the engine warms up.
Another recommendation I can give you is to replace all the old warn out components on the buggy Asap. like the CDI, Coil, spark plug. Just doing this adds more life to the buggy and helps it run a lot better. I just changed those 3 components out on my friends buggy and now his starts right up and runs like a champ. We put an orange cdi, orange coil, and ngk spark plug in it, Cost all of $30 bucks and it woke his buggy up.
I don't know if you've done it yet put Adjust the valves... they should be .003-.005ths, if you don't know how to do it go on youtube tons of videos there.
