    You probably have an air leak in the carburetor, so you have to choke it to get the fuel mixture rich enough to run. I suggest you rebuild the carburetor, or have it rebuilt, or replace it. Make sure all the fasteners are tight enough to stop any air leaks.

    If you have to take it some where and have it done , its probably cheaper to buy a new one, Luck
