Petrol mixer engine needs choke to run all of a sudden....

elderly belle w Honda engine, was running as normal a month ago,
now even when warm struggles to keep going unless the choke is

Without choke it struggles & does not run sweet...

Suggestions to remedy please?

TIA


Depending on which part of the country you live are you now running a
fuel/water mix?

Draining the tank on my petrol mower once I discovered bad running was
caused by a small amount of water mixing with the fuel. in a glass jar,
it took a few hours for the water to completely separate from the fuel.
No real idea[1] how the water entered the fuel tank as the cap was
secure and the engine had been running OK three weeks before.


[1] Ethanol in the fuel could absorb water from the atmosphere?
