How do you adjust the carburetor on a spirit 825 4 cycle Tecumseh engine two stage snowblower. For the engine to run right the choke has to be on all the way. Is it running lean or too rich?

if you must have the choke closed to run, you might want to check the carburetor first. It could be a result of a cracked diaphragm or any single or combination of several reasons you might have this problem... timing, fuel/air mix , jets, (carb) cracked intake manifold, even a bad plug could affect it. I would start with carburetion and make sure the carb is clean, inside and out.
Running on closed choke indicates a lean running condition. The initial adjustment is 1 1/2 turns out from closed on the main jet screw and 1 turn out from closed for the idle mix. Lean running could indicate plugged carb jets, an air leak past the intake manifold or engine valves not seating properly.
