It started sputtering like it was out of / low on gas. I added gasto the tank and it still sputters, almost like it is fully choked but the usual dark/blue smoke doesn't appear like normal for full choke.
I setup the carburetor and set the throttle linkage acoording to the manufacturers specs but it will only stay running at full choke or idle. I did the setup process a couple of times.
I have not checked fuel line for blockage yet. It does have a solenoid on the carburetor. The engine is old, I'd guess close to 20 years but was running great.
Ideas?

sometimes when you run low or out of gas there could be dirt ,leaves even water that will block the fitting at the bottom of the tank.pull the fuel line off were it connets to the carb. with the gas turned on see if it flows out the size of the line. if that's ok then pull of the bowl on the bottom of the carb a check for dirt debre,water ,or if it is rusty,or gummed up ,clean it all out the jets passage way etc.i would check the plug,the air filter too.if it is running only at idle,and at full choke it sounds like the main jet is plugged
