Engine spluttering and losing power

I was just driving my 1098 moggy it was okay when i first started and after I accelerated to about 45mph the engine seemed to lose power and started spluttering. I pulled over and fiddled with the choke and it seems to go away when I gently pressed the pedal but then it came back until I let the car warm up for a little bit with a good bit of choke and it went away.

Once the car has warmed up properly it doesn't happen again for the rest of the day.

I assume it could be a fuel issue as the car has already been fitted with new electrical components.

Are youjust pushing the choke in too soon before fully warmed up, especially noticeable if the mixture is set a little weak.
