WELCOME to LMF...
Are you Sure it is Choking itself ?? Choked out engine will typically produce a Lot of Black smoke before dying...
My first guess ...it is the exact Opposite... And it is running Out of fuel in the carb.... & if you were to apply the choke and choke it... it may continue struggling to run... Have you tried that, and what was the result???
If it is running out of fuel In the carb... check: gas cap vent.... Fuel filters, fuel line, fuel shut off devices... and last inside the carb itself for plugged or stuck passages or needle valve.... :smile:KennyV
