Good eve,

Perhaps it is the choke cable mechanism set up? This manual here should help:

,,, I’d suggest going through the set up procedure from scratch.

If you follow the green book manual (the link above) fault finding guide it should take you to the issue. If not then go through the set up procedure from scratch, it doesn’t take long.
Good fortune,
Alan

My car has the same carburettor (Pierburg):



... they are pretty simple beasts. See if you can operate the choke by hand at the carburettor (marked in the photo above) - if so you know it is an issue with the linkage (maybe the cable). If that doesn't work it is probably an internal issue with the carburettor.
