Default 2004 360 Prairie help

I have purchased a 2004 kawi 360 . i got it very reasonably considering it only has 6 hrs on it. The problem is it will only run when choke fully choked. if you throttle at all it sputters and dies. if you try to close choke it dies. I am thinking it is the carb adjusted way open, but I am not sure. Does anyone know the turn numbers from closed to factory setting on the adjuster ?
i have also heard the brain box might need to be reset, but no help on how to do so.
Some help if anyone knows would be awesome.
Thanks

The carb jets are plugged.
You need to completely disassemble the carb, remove all jets, the vacuum slide, etc, and clean each with carb cleaner. Spray the cleaner through each port, jet, and orifice until the cleaner drains out clear. The carb is pretty simple--not a lot of parts. Just take your time.

Default found the problem

The injector needle from the top of the carb that feeds down through the diaphragm was broken. $22.00 part but no one has it in-stock. ordered and it should be in Monday.
