engine only runs with excessive choke

I have a 1970 Morgan 33 which I have owned for 35 years with the original engine. The engine starts strong on choke and runs smooth, after warm up however reducing choke she dies. I just rebuilt the carb following my Moyer Service Manual. I blew through all orifices to check for blockage and reinstalled the carb, again she runs perfectly except needs constant choke. I checked fuel bowl, tested mechanical pump, checked plugs and spark all part of my Spring tune up, even replaced all 15 gallons of fuel.

I have noted the similar forum idle comments but again, I did clear all passages in the carb. I've exhausted my limited knowledge.
