1999 txt will not run without choke
any help would be greatly appreciated. i just bought a used 1999 txt with a robins 290 engine. it starts with the use of the choke, but the problem is i have to continue holding it to keep it running, when it's warmed up and moving i can close the choke but if i stop i need to play with the choke to get it moving again. the owner said it had been sitting, but fuel looks ok. not sure what is going on?

Re: 1999 txt will not run without choke
If possible I would drain all the gas out either by pulling the tank or pumping it out them start over with fresh NON-ETHANOL gas,also pull the carburetor & clean all passages/jets.Since it is new to you I would check & adjust the valves as needed .

Of course try fresh fuel - maybe a new fuel filter = it sounds like it is starving for fuel

Re: 1999 txt will not run without choke
well drained fuel, cleaned carb out (actually looked good) still no luck, cart starts with choke then i feather it to keep it running once engine is warm it only starts with choke on then will run fine at full throttle with choke closed if i let off on the gas it will die and with some playing with the throttle i can get it to run or i can pull the choke and it runs right away. sorry for the long post not sure what is going on.

Look for air leaks between the carb and the motor.
