I have a husqvarna with a kohler courage 21. It will run for a sec with full choke but then it dies I can mess with the choke manually to keep it going but it just sputters and never smoothed out. Any idea what the problem could be? The carb is clean as a whistle and it gets plenty of fuel.

I would say check spark and compression will help with your diagnosis.
But to me personally sounds like your carb is not as clean as you think. All those tiny channels and valves you cannot see can easily suck in some tiny gunk and cause sputtering and only choke running. When you choke the engine your closing off the air intake which allows more gas into the chamber and less air. So if it runs like that its either not getting enough fuel or to much air (gasket leaks)
