Your Briggs and Stratton 5.5hp only runs with the choke on because it needs a tune up.

You might check your primer bulb. Mine was cracked and the only way it would run was with the choke on about half way. I changed the primer bulb -- problem solved. Hope this helps.
Standard is full choke first, then half-choke for a couple of minutes, then run.
You have a plugged piolet jet. The carbs need to be gone through
Obviously a weak mixture, as using the choke makes the mixture richer. Quite possibly there's an air leak between the carburettor and manifold
there should be a dip stick on the bottom of your filler plug.
yes you can choke on feathers but only sometimes
MY lawn mower will start to sputter if I run the choke on after the motor is warmed up. It's getting fed too much fuel. Ease off on the choke and it will run better, usually.
Until the engine will run without the choke being pulled.
If it runs with the choke on, Then it will not do any good to adjust them. It is running lean/ not getting fuel. The carburetors have dirt in the fuel jets and that is why it won't run when choke is off. When choke is on that richins the fuel up and it try's to run. Need to clean the carbs out.
