Couple things, you stated in your original post that you needed to keep the choke closed in order to keep the motor running. Did you check the screen in the fuel tank? Sure sounds like lack of fuel to the carb to me. Also remember if you coat the float with glue or whatever. It might not float the way it should. Coating makes the float heaver. I have one of these 12hp babys and it runs great. Little on the heavy side but aren’t we all!
