Briggs & Stratton 18.5 engine

16 years ago

My 40 hours old B&S 18.5 starts and runs great on full choke only and will run on idle only but nothing in between; stalls within to seconds. There is adequate fuel; clean filter; no apparent air leaks; I've tightened the manifold bolts, etc; cleaned the carburetor bowl and as best I could, blew cleaner into ports; has new carb gasket. Clogged ports in carb? Should I remove carburetor and thoroughly clean? Boil? Thanks.
