Pull the carb off and rebuild it, it either has a failed fuel inlet valve or a sticking float or a plugged jet from dirt in the fuel. If you are careful you can do this clean out with no new gaskets, use carb spray and compressed air. You may need a new fuel inlet "Needle Valve and seat". If you do find allot of contaminates in the float bowl you will need to clean the fuel tank and lines to the carb.
rebuild the carb, include a new float and throttle spring and replace any dog eared screws. The kit comes with a new needle valve and two jets and all the gaskets. Take you time and replace all the parts. Be careful to put the keeper clip (ring) on the proper groove on the needle valve and extra care when bending the float arm to proper travel specs... they will break off if you are rough. Write down the mixture settings and use those as your starting point to readjust the mixture. The engine is designed to use choke when starting and should have a slight skip when idling that smooths out when adding throttle.
It sounds like it could be either a stuck choke, or a dirty carb. If you can see the choke moving freely you should try cleaning the carb jet and bowl. If you can try some carb cleaner first without removing the carb.
If you get it running, ensure you have fresh gasoline. I always store my engines with Seafoam to clean the carbs and keep the gas from going bad during storage.
well sounds like you need to clean air filter if that does not help i would go with your choke is sticking on if its a cable pull one make sure its pushing all the way back on carb check or if it is electronic one i would replace auto choke good luck
