Engine starts on first pull but as soon as I take the choke off it dies out. I took carb off and cleaned it and blew it out but still does the same thing. The jet moves freely and doesn't appear to be damaged. Thanks

Not getting enough fuel. The main jet might have dirt in it. The float might need to be adjusted to keep the engine from starving.

Pull the hose off the carb and see if your getting a good flow of fuel . If so you might need to clean carb again. This has happened to me more than once.
If your not getting good fuel check your hose for clogs , check the screen inside the tank. Check and make sure the fuel cap is venting good.
LUCK
