this machine sat up for 5 yrs and I took the carc off and cleaned what I could !
Put fresh gas and it cranks and runs but only on choke ?

Could be a bad fuel pump. Setting up that long could have weakened the diaphragm in the pump. Before I pulled carb again I'd check the pump.
Pull the line between the carb and pump off the carb. Turn the motor over with the key make sure hose is pointed into a bottle or away from the motor. If you don't have decent volume and pressure it could be the pump,filter,line or trash in the tank.
Well looks like it is the fuel pump but I also blew through the filter and there is some back pressure so that will get replaced also!
Where would you guys say is the best place to get the best price?

A small mom n pop small engine repair shop probably have one on the shelf. You could also buy online. I buy most everything locally.
Update! I tested the solenoid and it was stuck shut !
Took some PB Blaster and sprayed it on it and freed it up then cleaned real good,now all is peach icecream!
That motor purrs on slow idle and roars away on full throttle!
Man that tickles me! Thanks for all the inputs guys! Pappywith4
