Sounds to me like the diaphragm in your carb has torn. I've had this happen a few time ons 2-strokes about this age. The diaphragm acts as a fuel pump using the pressure pulses from the crankcase to

I had a chain saw that did the same thing once and we took the muffler off and took the guts out and put it back on and it ran good. It was plugged solid. Bob ________________________________________

Sounds like fuel mixture issue to me if it will run with the choke partially open. Find the manual online and mess with the mixture adjustment. It is usually pretty easy. If that doesn't work, I'd ge
