Fc420v My FC420V will start and run with full choke, unchoke and it dies. New plug and bowl looks good with gas flow. Any ideas?

The carb jets are partially clogged and needs to be cleaned.

Replace the spark-plug, check the quality of the fuel(gas that is mixed or was stored more then three months is stale and wont fire correctly) make sure the fuel and air filter not clogged. If there is no change then your problem may be more technical, a nest may be restricting the govenor or you missed something with the carb and there still is debre causing it to stall.

The pump is not good,to test it,you take out the out fuel pipe start the engine ,see if fuel is coming out fully to the pipe,if sometimes it comes and cut,this means the fuel pump is not working properly.You have to change it.
