I only flew the airplane the one time all the other times the running was on the ground and yes when I do reach under it to open up the choke sometimes the gas is running out from the carburetor after I had choked it. Also as I mentioned before you have to leave the choke on about halfway before it would even start so that tells me it's not getting enough gas, but it must be getting enough gas because gas does run out of the carburetor when I take the choke off. I just took the engine off the plane again this time I'm going to put it on a test stand and try to start it and maybe try some different things. I should not be having to do all of this with a brand new engine that is still under warranty I might just send it back to the company after tomorrow if things don't work out or put it up for sale I hate to spend more money with that company to have them only tell me that nothing is wrong with it when I know there is. So money I thought I was saving it's not worth the aggravation I am having.
