There should be a sensor on the bottom of the carberator. It works like a plunger. Alot of times it will stick slightly open allowing just enough gas to come through to idle. To the best of my knowledge it's not a real expensive part. But if yours doesn't have one then there is trash in your carb and you'll have to clean it. Hope this helps you.

Engine will start but only run at choke or half choke and low throttle sputteres and or dies if you try to increase to full throttle and dies if you take off choke

Check fuel pump delivery for adequate flow. If when choke enrichment is applied and it runs, then dies when choke is off, fuel flow is inadequate and needs choke enrichment to compensate. Also, if engine dies or chokes when increasing rpms, this will be a symptom of too little fuel. Check fuel flow at pump, then, if flow is good, check for carb blockage, unscrew the jet and inspect, check the operation of the solenoid at the bottom of the bowl, it has a wire attached to it. Trace that wire to where it plugs in, unplug it and touch it to the positive pole of the battery, it should retract. If not you need a new solenoid that has the job of metering in gas to the inner bowl below the jet assembly.

How does choke work on 20 horse briggs the throttle only has turtlespeed and rabbit no place marked choke

Many have auto chokes, which are set to close and open essentially with spring pressure. You can verify this by looking into the intake, ahead of the throttle plates. Other designs use a priming bulb to accomplish the same function.

Sounds like fuel starvation. Check for plugged fuel filter or sediment or dirt in the fuel tank. Failing that, examine the carburetor for dirt/sedment plugging it. Good luck!
