Thanks! Is the fuel pulled in under different pressure through the pilot jets vs through the main jets? I wonder if when choked its simply sucking harder, pulling past any obstructions, including fuel filter and clogged jets.

I've turned it on for a good 15 minutes with the choke on (as close to idle as possible). I was hoping that after it warmed up it would be better, but that was a no-go. However, it does say the fuel in the carbs was getting replaced...though since it was on choke it might have been simply sucking harder and replacing the fuel that way?

Thanks to both of you so far for your advice.
