Stupid Questions...

Hey everyone, I inherited my Dad's 1975 350 Alpina, and just got it back from the local bike shop.  They looked it over, cleaned the carb, replaced damaged fuel lines etc. and it ran great when the mechanic kicked it over.

 

I got it home, and for the life of me can't get the danged thing to start...  First question, is the choke on in the up or down position (I have the Amal carb with a choke and no tickler)?  

 

Second question - Any tricks to getting this thing cold-started?  I know it runs well, but it has to start to run :-)

 

Thanks!

Now that I know which way the choke lever goes, I got her to start up a couple of times, but both times the choke lever popped up and the bike bogged and died.  Of course I didn't notice the choke lever popped up until after it died.  Is that by design, or is my choke lever funky?
