To add to Patrick's explanation the owners manual clearly suggests placing the lever in the "C" chiuso position for starting with 3/4 throttle. The "A" aperto is for normal running and actually lifts the enricher therefore it is under tension when riding. It is possible that if the plugs were so so to start with, and now we have 5 minutes running well enrichened this migh t= fouled plugs. a new set of Patrick's recommended Bosch plugs may well proove a good investment.

It is NOT a choke (although most call it that). It is an enrichening
device. A choke restricts airflow. An enrichener adds fuel flow. You
have the latter.
That would be "A" as in APERTO (ahh-PEAR-toe) or open.
"C" as in "CHIUSO" (key-USE-oh) or closed.
I presume that the "C" position relaxes the cable and lets the
enrichener device drop to its seal. On VERY old carbs, like my '46, the
cable works opposite. Mine is a true air choke, and not an enrichener
like yours. Pulling the cable lifts the choke blade out of the way and
turns it off. I seriously doubt you have this style on a loop.
