I went for a ride up pally the other day, and i reliezed that my choke was barley on the whole time... now it seems i have lost some power... do i need to get it synced or somethin to do with the plugs maybe?
 
It makes the fuel run rich. When that happens, the fuel doesn't burn completely. This is why the plugs can get fouled.

In the future, anytime you use the choke for extended periods, you should rev the engine a few times (after turning choke off) to blow out any fouling. And obviously you should try to leave it on only as long as needed.
