i have had factory motors that were like that. seems they test fire them at the factory and sometimes dont get it all cleaned out. or maybe they are just stored in a damp warehouse. some even though clean still required the choke... then i hog out the jet some. only ever replaced one carb on a small engine. that was on my 036 stihl. most of them i can get cleaned well enough to run without the choke. now tractor carbs....thats another story. i almost always end up sending them to dennys carb shop www.dennyscarbshop.com
