so it starts fine, runs fine, then when i take my foot off the accelerator it doesn't return to idle , it cuts out. if i leave the choke on its fine but thats only a short term fix.

It has a manual choke? Like with a carburetor? If so turn the fuel/air mix screw all the way in (to the right, clockwise) then back it out 1and 1/2 turns and see what happens, but when you do this, count how many turns it is now so it can be put back where it is nowif it gets worse
