Try this...
Disconnect your dead-man, block off the air intake for both cylinders at the front cover, seal it up tight with your hand if you can get it in there and pull the cord 4-6 times, not hard like your trying to start it, but hard enough to draw fuel in.
Reconnect the dead-man and try to start it without using the choke.
The idea is that at least both cylinders will be treated the same, instead of one being flooded by its choke and the other is left empty.
Not if the choke is in place, opening the throttle allows a more acute draw from the bowl. Throttle plates seal tighter than chokes.
In his case your right, one cylinder is clearing out while the other is flooding.
If this motor is in any kind of good overall condition and (evidently) worth messing with, you really should track down a replacement carb with a working choke.

When you hold the throttle WOT when pulling, your clearing out excess fuel(working against your self).
