I have a champion power equipment 6.5hp clone engine. I have a modified exhaust I made and a air filter setup like here from AGK but just the filter on the end not the carb(a snorkel), no other mods on the motor all stock,

It runs ok, but it runs on the half way position on the choke. When I gun the throttle it wants to die, if I ease into it, it will go fine.
Now my problem(if that wasn't enough).
I went and called the champion people. They don't know the stock size on the carb but will sell me a new carb. Ok cool, not exactly what I want though. I just need a new stock jet to return to if I mess this one.
So I go to a Honda dealer that sell all sorts of lawn and other equipment, they tell me for the gx200 series there is about 20+carb varients, so having a number from the block is needed to get any match for that part, it's a clone not a Honda. They say bring the carb in an we can take a look. But said most likely it won't fit cause its Chinese.
Now I was under the impression, that there was not that much difference between all the Honda's verities themselves let alone the clones that won't fit at all(IE. not many Honda universal parts)
So what can I do to fix this.

Go back to the affordable go kart site, click on home and read the performance engine section. then on the right side their are instructions on how to re-size a jet. You might have to change the E-tube also, which is explained on their site.
