Johnson 1972 OutBoard Problem

I just recently bought an old Mako With a 1972 Johnson 130 HP Motor on it. The Motor ran fine for a month. But now it is acting up.
For some reason the Motor only runs in choke. I have cleaned the carb with some carb cleaner (sprayed through the holes in the carb) (Haven't Taken it Apart)
I have also messed with the Idle Adjuster. As an extra measure I also replaced the GAS/oil filter and filled the tank up with brand new gas/oil.


If you need any more information please ask. If anyone sees a solution please let me know.
 
No 130 hp listed for 1972 model year.-------------125 hp ??--------I would start with a compression test on it first.-------Having to use the choke indicates that carburetors may have blockage.
