So it idles fine when the choke is on but not when its off, am I correct.
When the choke is on, the butterfly on the carb is closed. Meaning that Air is restricted upon entering the carb. This is telling me you still have a fueling issue. As when the butterfly is closed, the engine is getting the optimum amount of fuel and air to burn. However, when you release the choke, you open up the butterfly on the carb mean more air can get into the carb, in turn this draws more fuel through the carb to create that optimum burn.
Yours however isn't getting the fuel it needs when the butterfly is open, meaning its getting too much air and not enough fuel. Check and clean carb, replace any fatigued gaskets and diaphragms.
