Default Engine fires with choke closed?

I havent run my dle20 for some time but I fired it today with a new rcexcl igntition. It fires with the choke closed and runs for some time. With the choke open, it doesnt fire or even if it fires, it doesnt sustain and dies quickl
. Wondering what the issue is? following things have been done before this run
1) reset the needles- LSN to 1.1 turns and hsn to 1.5 turns.
2) new tubing inside the tank for clunk. the remaining are old tubin
3) I had the ignition battery (2000mah nimh 5cell) mistakenly plugged in direct instead of thru the voltage reduction diodes
also noticed that the engine races even at idle. I have the idle stop screw removed & the idle position should be completely closed throttle. Ameyam
