If black and sticky, probably tar (or similar) oozing from

Yep, the black goo is tar and unless the choke is running WAY hot I'd
not bother awlfully much about replacing it.

Note that naptha (paint thinner, NOT paint remover) will do a nice job
of removing leaked tar from chassis with a little elbow grease.
