Briggs & Stratton 5 hp compression

[Bobcat1]

I am still perplexed as to why the engine will only run with choke on. i was thinking it might be bad valves that weren't providing enough pressure to suck the gas in when the choke is off. so i hooked up a compression tester and got about 65 p.s.i. i did a look up and that is supposed to be good. so now i am thinking it has to do with something in the carb. something just aint right because it's not sucking enough with the choke off to pull in the gas.
