After some pretty trouble free driving my engine first started to idle quite high then when I stopped it the only way to restart it is with a bit of choke but then when I turn the choke off it will idle fast again then stall after about ten seconds!

Any ideas what this could be?

I thought air leak somewhere but had the carb off and can't see any obvious signs on any gaskets

Also, spark plug seems fine and is a nice colour still.

On further inspection the gasket between the cylinder and the crank case had split and was leaking just below the exhaust port. Up and running again
