I can run it on half choke for a bit but eventually it will do the same thing, bog down and die.

It will sometimes run at full throttle for a few seconds (10 or so) until it bogs down and dies..

Any ideas?

Dennis those Ryobi units are a common problem with the wire mesh screen in the carby they are that tight a weave mesh they clog up very easy and restrict the fuel flow.

You either replace it or throw it out completely like a lot of mower shops do but myself personally I replace them with the Walbro mesh which is not as tight a weave. cheers2
