Blower Stops When Choke Lever Is Moved From 'choke On To Choke Off'

The blower starts, but when the choke lever is moved to "choke off' it starves of air and stops. Move the Choke lever to "Choke On"  Pull start and it starts right up, moving the lever over it stops.  I removed the air filter to see if it was the problem, but that didn't solve the problem.
