I would check that the choke plate is correctly returning to the closed position when the engine is off.
This would be my first suggestion also. Make sure cable hasn't slipped and choke is working as it should.
A couple years ago, I bought a brand new Snapper lawn tractor that acted like yours. I even put a check valve on it to keep it primed. Dealer said they just run lean. I took the air cleaner off and discovered the throttle/choke cable was mal-adjusted and didn't close the choke completely. Adjusted it so the choke would close, and problem solved.
