Dissasemble the lever, see whether it's all fitted as it should. Lube the choke cable. Put it back together. I do that every autumn. Do it with clutch and throttle cables as well.
Use this:

Just wait until oil starts dripping on the bottom end. The best thing is some motor oil and WD40 mixture: 1/3 motor oil, 2/3 WD40. It will nicely flow through cable housing, flush all the dirt, and leave a protective, lubricating oil film on the cable. If cable and housing is more than 5 years old, this makes very much sense to practice every autumn at least.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
