It ran fine last year with the choke open all the way.

Now, it will buck and shut down with the choke completely open.

Obviously it is running too lean this way.

Any problem running it in the partial choke position?

What is the real fix and is it worth it?

I would think its not getting enough gas, the carb is dirty , It
shouldnt hurt it. Leaving gas in it for a few months or dirt could
cause it, Does the carb even have a fuel filter to keep out dirt. It
may not produce full power but you probably dont need full power.
