Just read the other posts and found a goodly amount of really bad information in some of them while others offered real help. The choke does not do anything to help fuel get TO the carburetor. If choking makes an engine run reasonably well, the fuel flow TO the carburetor is probably OK. A leaking float (from a pinhole in the float) will result in a flooded engine. The choke controls AIR FLOW, which when restricted at the choke location, indirectly causes fuel flow into the engine to increase. That flow is fuel that is already in the carburetor. Cub carburetors do not have to be disassembled to clean the main jet. Using a 3/8 hex or open end wrench, remove the brass "nut" in the side of the carburetor. Using SMOOTH wire, clean the tiny hole in the end near the threads. Do this several times and blow out with compressed air each time. Do not alter the size of the hole. Reinstall-careful with the gasket-the carburetor can leak here too. See if this 5 minute procedure helps.
