get it running and put your hand over the carb intake, and choke it by hand, if it keeps running as you do this then remove your hand and have to do it again, you got a bad carb. You can remove the filter box and use washers to hold the carb to run w/o the filter box.
I'll take apart the line and see. It looks like from the tank petcock its just a straight line to the carb. but I will double check. sheer cureosity where would I even buy a carb from?

Oh, I should note that there is no fuel in the floats, gas is fresh (I tend to run the tanks dry when I store the equipment) I'll try the hand choke and see what happens
