Engines dies when not in choke position

[aztec warrior]

Alright everyone is been a long long time since I posted on here... My son has the green doodle bug. I upgraded the engine yo the HF blue 6.5 hp... It's been sitting for at least a year with fuel in it... I drained the old fuel and put new fuel in it... Well it starts fine when the choke is on, when I take the choke off it dies everytime... What do I do to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Clean the carb or replace it.

I put a fuel additive to it for small engines... Will that work? What does a carb like that cost?

Clean the carb! Replacements are less than $20

The carbs are cheap for those engines. OldMiniBikes warehouse sells them.:thumbsup:

Alright guys I did get a chance to clean the carb out and it now idles with the choke off.it want to run but it won't. However, if I put the choke somewhere about half way it will run ok... I did order a new carb though should be here on Wednesday... So since I got semi got running ok I installed a jackshaft from pmr on it... My question is which sprocket do I chain up to the rear wheel from the jackshaft? It's got a smaller and a bigger sprocket on the jackshaft. I'm looking for more torque for up hill...
