Small Engine Help - B&S/Craftsman

Neighbor brought over his snowblower, it's never really run right and he's tried a few things.
He admits should have had it checked out under warranty, too late now.
8.5 horse B&S Powerbuilt Snow.

OK starts ok with full choke, runs and stalls.
I took apart the float etc cleand it.
Now it starts and runs, but you have to play with the choke to keep it running.
Also stutters, even a bit of backfire.
Acts like it's running rich, but there is no mixture adjustment that I can find.

He replaced the Magneto.


Should I suspect his Magneto replacement, he did something wrong somewhere ??
Or what else can I look at / do ??
