Could these symptoms be from a bad choke pull-off? I just pushed in the plunger and put my finger over the vacuum nipple and it bled back out. Running at idle with 20” it won’t pull in unless I nudge it. Then it sucks in. Slides out when bringing RPMs up. Back to idle... need to nudge to get it to pull in.

No parts place has one on the shelf and I’m still 300 miles from home. Ugh!
