Well.. I tried blowing the carb out with cleaner and an air compressor and installed my new carb parts.

Still won't start. I'm assuming I have to learn to rebuild a carburetor to get this thing running, but hoping I can get clued in to where my problem might be.

It's odd - I can get it to start with the air cleaner off - Any amount of choke kills the engine, and even holding the cleaner over the intake (not seating it, just positioning it) will kill the engine. It only sort of runs on full throttle for a few minutes and it only BARELY runs. I see lots of posts where people can only get their engine to run if it's fully choked, but I seem to be having the opposite problem.

Any ideas where to start? Or do I just need to fully disassemble the carb and try to get it back together right?

Thanks
