i got a gx240 that runs and idles great when its choked. but once u take it off choke it runs for 10 secs and dies. but when u try and ride it with the choke off. its just pops and backfires. when dies its abropt and fast. im gonna clean the carb later. and change the spark plug. any suggestions would be good

You're on the right track cleaning the carb! Check for air leak in between the carb and engine. Make sure fuel flow from tank to carburetor isn't restricted. Too much air or not enough fuel usually are the cause on a stock engine.
