I’m dealing with a similar issue with mine, after getting it to keep running by putting a new high temp switch on know it is having a problem starting. I took off the spark arrester and watched the choke as I tried to start the motor. The choke moved to about 25% closed and would not start, held the choke closed by hand and fired right up. Took the choke solenoid off and cleaned it up, bench tested and worked great, reinstalled and still only got about 25% choke, so I ordered a new one and it should be in this week. Maybe you are having a similar issue.
