I agree with Tries. Removing the choke will allow the max fuel through the system. It will do exactly what you have been fearing. The choke works by the element inside being heating electrically. That causes the needle to extend slightly and restrict the bystarter fuel flow.  If you remove the choke or unplug it, you will be in a too rich situation. The needle needs to be in to restrict the fuel. Your problem may not be the choke at all. Did you try the simple (and cheap) things first? Plugs, valves, etc. After that would check to make sure the bystarter (choke) is getting electrical current when the ignition is on. Good luck!

Final outcome after the aggravating starting, sputtering problem.

1) Cleaned carb per the videos
2) New spark plug
3) Blew out air cleaner
4) Fuel Filter- universal from Autozone
5) Autozone charged the battery- because I worn it down trying to start it about week ago.

Took a few mins, but it did start up and drove nice. better throttle response for sure. I will drive more tomorrow and see what happens.

I will still have to get valves done soon, plus getting a new air cleaner and battery.

Thanks to the forum members for assisting with video links and advice
