13 hp murray mower.

Have a 13 hp Murray riding mower with tecumseh engine. I just replaced the carburetor with a new one. The only way it will run is with full choke. Soon as you take it off choke it dies. Replaced fuel filter but with no help.

Look for an air leak somewhere in the intake system.

i think you may have a air leak also but you said you replaced it with a new carb is it brand new or another carb new to you if its another it may need to be cleaned

Thanks fellows, it was a new carb, identical to the old one. I will check for leaks and also will check the new carb. Even that it is new it could still need checking out. Thanks
