Choke is full off when trying to run.

I’m not sure on the ethanol free. Got regular unleaded from the race track station near me and mixed in the 2 cycle oil.

I’ll try removing the screen first. I don’t have a ton of time to mess with it so if it’s not expensive and taking forever to get it fixed by Pauli I’ll let him do it.

Your description of the problem points to the spark arrestor screen others have mentioned. I would definitely start with that. It takes just a few minutes...

Then it likely wasn't non-ethanol. You'll need to seek it out. You can Google stations near you that have it. Nowadays it's usually a separate pump handle and labeled. Very important not to use ethanol gas in small engines if you want them to last. You can also just use trufuel, it's $$ but it's easy and I'm lazy.
