If the engine won't run with choke off, it very possible the gasket dried
out, between the carb and the engine. Pull the carb off, the gasket is
probably loose. Put a tiny bit of Permatex #2B non hardening gasket sealer
on the gasket, and reassemble. Should work a lot better. May also explain
the no-start.

Thanks both. Neighbor came over and said something about fuel inlet
in the carb has crystallized or something from non-use. Left over
gas from the manufacturer test. He sprayed a little carb cleaner in
the choke and it fired right up. Only weird now is it runs great,
but won't run if the choke is turn from choke to run. I conks out.
