Hrm.
If it was me, I would stop replacing everything & first try to tune the carb. I know you're not replacing expensive stuff, but there's a very good chance it simply needs some adjustment. Sounds like the L screw might be out of whack (why it is starting on full choke but dying thereafter).
You mention the limiter tabs are stopping you from getting enough movement - try cutting them off & see if you can solve your problem with a slight adjustment to the carburetor. Its possible the impulse line is gone or you need a full carb rebuild, but I would say that more than likely it is simply a case of adjustments.
I think you'll love the saw. Imho one of the best 60cc class saws ever made. Ahead of its time when it was introduced and still a perfectly capable workhorse.
It needs a carb kit, when the choke is closed it's getting plenty of fuel and air and in the right amount to run, not to run at full throttle or run good...just run and as soon as the choke is opened it runs lean and dies. Very typical of a carb needing a kit. Exhaust clogged would be..... can't run it up to full throttle or it doesn't have any power and can also be indication of needing a carb kit. You need to check both boxes on this one, new kit and clean the spark screen.
