Anytime you need to use the choke to keep a motor running means the carb is dirty and needs to be cleaned and rebuilt

The reason is that your getting to much air and not enough of fuel, thats why the choke is used to reduce the air flow and the motor stays running

So you will need to rebuild the carb and it will be good to go

Please outline how to clean and rebuild the carb.
