Default 84 Honda 200S won't stay running

I've had this since it was new,but haven't started it in a few YEARS. It has fresh gas and oil, will start and idle with the choke on, but when I turn the choke off, it dies. Sprayed carb cleaner into carb, will partially run with choke on. What's next?

Remove the carb and clean the fuel deposits from it sitting for a few years. Your choke is more than likely an enriching choke so it give it more fuel and less air. As soon as you turn the choke off the rest of the jets are plugged and it does not get enough fuel to stay running and dies.

Default Thank you

I took the carb apart, cleaned the fuel lines. Carb is still out of adjustment some, but better. Will work on adjustments this weekend. Thanks again for your help.
