No stupid questions here anymore. I have asked most of them over the years.
Choke 1/2 out to run is quite possibly a vacuum leak and that should be at the intake manifold where it mounts to the engine. Remove it, take it to a machine shop and get it sanded flat. Remount it with a new gasket and then see what you get BEFORE, BEFORE you play with the poor defenseless carburetor.
