how can I fix my mtd 22 inch push mower?

the machine starts immediately,runs a few seconds and stalls! have replaced plug. cleaned carb-bowl etc. set mixture and idle to specs as well as could without instruments. it sounds fuel starved but the bowl isw full and float functions. I suspect choke or guvenor but they are hard to get to!
