I have a 2005 Dixie Chopper with 550 hours that had been run pretty hard but has served me well. It died on me last fall and since then I have replaced: both coil packs, spark plugs, head gaskets, intake gaskets, carburetor (oem factory), fuel filter, all fuel lines, fuel pump, and both breather filters. It starts up and runs now and seems to be strong but only runs when fully choked. As soon as I try to push in the choke just the tiniest little bit the engine dies. Compression on both sides is 150psi. I have not done a leak down test yet but if it fails that I think I would rather replace the engine than go any further with this one. What could it be? Thank you in advance for any advice that you offer.
