Before touching the choke, I played with the throttle a bit. I pushed it all the way down and back as I have done in the past. Only this time something different happened, the choke plate opened to about 1/8 inch gap and it stayed that way even when I moved the throttle back to neutral.
So, it seems like something in the linkage on the carb changed so that now the choke plate holds with 1/8 gap.
I think it has something to do with the linkage and cams on the side of the carb. I'm not sure what would have changed to make the plate go full closed, and now it has correct gap.
I went ahead and removed the water separating fuel filter as requested. I poured the contents into a glass jar for inspection. I think the gas looks good. I attached a couple pics.
