... engine is too lean, so you need choke to run with the little fuel that is getting through. You don't say what led up to this: did it just start doing it, or were you doing something to the engine?
If this just came out of the blue on a 230 flathead, I would start with the fuel pump as Suspect #1. A stuck float, clogged jets, clogged fuel filter might be other looks. If you were working on something, well then...
