I know I might just insult you but do you know how to properly opperate a choke? If you do and the choke cable is hooked up correctly, then you have a carburator problem.
Before you o/h the carb. Remove the air cleaner, open the choke, look down the carb. with a flash light. While you look, have some one step on the gas pedal. Do you see a stream of fuel comming out a small hole and squirting down into the carb? If not you could have a bad accelorator pump or possible a leaking fuel bowl. Usualy a carb. o/h will take care of this. If you choose to do it yourself, go buy a kit first. Now go get one of your big zip lock baggies and open the kit. Remove the instructions for the kit and open them up to the exploded view. Now 1 piece at a time remove the parts from the kit and find them on the exploded view, look up thier names and see where they go in the carb. take each part and place it into the baggie and go to the next part find it read about it and put it in the baggie. After you do this go back and read the info on the sheet. Follow each step in order. Then remove your carb. and start dissasembly. Use a large muffin pan to keep you parts seperated. If you don't have a vat to clean your carb. just use the spray can with the nozzle and make sure you can blow through every hole in the carb and it sprays out some where else. Use compressed air to follow up and clear carb. cleaner from all holes. Remember on disassiembly that some parts are spring loaded and may go flying across the room on removal so remove all parts slowly. Also when you turn parts over to look inside do so over the top a bench or inside a box and look as you turn it over. There are loose check balls inside a carburator that will fall out. Good luck.
This is (on a small carburator) a 1 hour job for the pro. a 2 hour job for a novice, and a 4 hour job for a first timer.
Note also that you should have gaskets and parts left over from the kit.
