Running with the choke on should not make it heat up, since you are running richer not leaner.

Sounds like maybe a pilot jet problem.

Did you use a clear tube to set fuel levels in the bowls?

Is the timing advancer working freely?

Any mods to the bike like pods or headers?

I would also carefully check the diaphragms for slits or pinholes. That's what was making mine hesitate.

Did you move the clip on the jet needle to a different position while you had carbs apart? That will give that kind of performance.
