Default Help with DLE 61 issue

Have a peculiar issue with a DLE 61 and need help in identifying the cause
The engine has fair running time and was bought preowned. Worked and flew fine for few flights and then started acting up.
It would instantly pop on choke. With choke off would just run to burn the prime. Choke again and it repeats the same results.
Partial choke the engine runs but obviously would not reach peak.
Tried adjusting the needles, cleaning the carb filter, flushing the carb, checking the tank and lines, changed plug but to no avail.

Next step - Changed the carb to a brand new one from VVRC

Ran fine for may be two runs and the problem returned
Checked all the above again, reeds look to be well seated, no cracks or visible damage on the reeds, plates, gaskets or the reed block
At wits end trying to diagnose the issue so that it could be fixed.

Any help is appreciated
