Last time i cleaned out the carb I went through pilot / choke systems with a piece of piano wire and they were 100% clean.
I am thinking that this might be my ignition coil that is going wrong. It is afterall a momentary fault. So I guess I won't be able to measure it....

FYI, dragging steel wire through aluminium carbs isn't a great idea. You can do damage and make things worse. However, lets assume you were super careful and everything is okay.
Well, In my experience a big 600cc air-cooled single usually always needs a decent amount of choke to get it going. Even in hot countries. If it starts without any choke in a bleak, cold British winter then I think your jetting is out.
Take it all back to standard book settings with the jet sizes and pilot screw and see how it goes from there.
Do you know what your screw setting and jets are at the moment ??
