To adjust the choke on a Briggs and Stratton engine, locate the choke lever, usually found on the carburetor or near the air filter. For starting, set the choke to the closed position to enrich the fuel mixture, then pull the starter cord. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the open position as the engine warms up to ensure smooth operation. Always refer to the specific model's manual for detailed instructions.
Your Briggs and Stratton 5.5hp only runs with the choke on because it needs a tune up.

Is the rumor true? Is Briggs Stratton going out of Business?? We were told not to by lawn mowers with the Briggs stratton motors.
check that your main jet is not clogged. The reason it seems to run better while choked is simple. there is a bypass tube that siphons extra fuel when the choke plate is closed

To remove the choke knob on a Briggs and Stratton engine, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the choke knob, which is typically attached to a lever or rod. Depending on the model, you may need to unscrew a retaining nut or simply pull the knob off if it's designed to slide off. Be cautious not to damage any connected components during the removal process.
There are several systems used by Briggs for choke control. Auto choke engines are equipped with a heat sensitive bi-metal coil attached to the exhaust. When cold, the coil closes the choke plate. When heated by exhaust gases, it opens the plate. Most other models have a manual lever to open and close the choke or a primer bulb system.
