Question 2 cycle help , Anyone?

Trying to help wifes friend with her kids PW50,She sent it to me stating it has been sitting for a few months with a broken choke cable,but it did run when it was parked , Replaced the choke cable and opened the drain on the float bowl , gas was stale but fuel in tank smelled ok , drained all of it , Made sure it was full of 2 cycle oil in the separate tank , Starts on the first kick and runs like it should till it either warms up or acts like it runs out of fuel and slowly dies , I have good flow from the petcock to the carb drain and have since dismantled the carb,ran a wire through/cleaned all openings also with compressed air,Put this thing back together and has the same problem. Any ideas?
