You need 3 thing when you clean a carb. #1 spray carb cleaner. #2 compressed air to blow out all the passage ways and #3 a small wire so as to poke out all the passage ways and jets so you know there open. Only running when choked says the main jet is clogged

Your only options are to remove and clean or remove and replace, if you want it to run.

A sketch or a picture of the linkage is a good idea. I usually mark the holes in the arms with a scriber so I know which hole the springs, links, etc. use.

Use your camera and take several pictures. Color code it. I use ultrasonic cleaning carbs.
