My 706 gas does the same thing. Like you, I need to pull the choke or slow the engine. Nearly all of the time it is gunk plugging up the little passageway in the sediment bulb base. Surprising what tapping on the potmetal housing of the sediment bulb will do for a short-term fix. Generally I had to take off the bulb and probe a little wire up into the holes. Once in a while I have to twist out the shut off and probe that hole too. If the gas starts running strong you know you got the restriction. I think this problem occurs more often when the gas tank is nearly empty. A full tank probably provides a little more pressure to help pass the gunk through. Seems like the stuff that was plugging it was like thick slime. Sometimes you could see it coming out when cleaning it. To completely eliminate the problem I cut some fine fine brass screen and wrapped the fuel inlet on the sediment bulb and tied it with fine wire. I took a hacksaw blade and cut a notch around the sediment bulb inlet pipe for the wire to snug into. This helps hole the wire and screen on. The circled screen is a smaller diameter than the hole in the tank therefore it could be inserted back into the tank. I think some sediment bulbs have this feature. Goodluck.
