if it runs good with the chole closed then you are getting too much air for some place.
carb base gasket leak
throttle bushing worn out
air/fuel screws out of adjustment.
and other things maybe.

Sounds like you are still having the same problem you were having in this thread:

What have you done since then?

I still think you need to take the carburetor off and go back through it.

any carb that lets anything, lawnmower or car, run better with choke "on" is running lean, meaning vacuum leak or improper carb in some fashion. Banjo.
