So the carb is lean because it no longer puts out the proper amount of fuel for the airflow through it. He uses the choke to cut down air, which makes his mixture correct-ish again. Which means he is not lean on fuel or air, he is lacking in CFM flow through the carb. So if his mixture is no longer lean or rich, then he's not going to run hot (like you said) or cold because it's rich. He's just not going to produce the full power that the throttle is asking for.
I stand by what I said. If he uses the choke to run, it cuts out air, which makes a rich mixture. Now, if he gets it right and has the choke in a position that doesn't create a rich mixture, you are still wrong about him running hot due to lack of fuel in the mixture. Only time he'll run hot is if he runs without the choke at all until he fixes the issue.
