Anyone know anything about small engines here? 
This mower sat for 5+ years. New battery, fresh gas, carb kit from OldMiniBikes, new plug. Starts but will only run at 3/4 choke or if I hold my hand over the carb throat, blocking most of the air. BUT.... it runs ok if I manually open/close the throttle butterfly. Left on it's own the governor surges back & forth & it wants to misfire.
What's up with this?

Thanks!
(Yes, I know the breather hose is loose but hooking it up made no difference)
