    Hi,
    Hondas have a way to disassemble the fuel inlet, often and also have a way to disaasemble the fuel shutoff. It will often clog in the shutoff restricting flow. The extra vacuum of the choked engine will often conceal this until the choke is turned off.
    Peace,

    The choke might be reversed so off is on or u might have bad gaskets on the carb and can make you need to choke it to run because the gaskets are bad letting more air in then needed. I wouldn't worry about it if it runs with choke on.
