I had this problem with a lawnmower which did NOT come with a fuel filter!

I took apart the carburetor and cleaned everything, then added a small
engine fuel filter. Works fine now.

It's a problem. The fix is to find and replace the bad gasket. Most likely
betwen the carb and the engine.

It ran fine last year with the choke open all the way.

Now, it will buck and shut down with the choke completely open.

Obviously it is running too lean this way.

Any problem running it in the partial choke position?

What is the real fix and is it worth it?
