To review - engine dies if we go up or back on throttle. I have cover off this morning. When throttle is moved from half way to forward what position should the carb butterflies be at?

Currently there is no movement of butterflies when throttle remote is moved up or back.

Update. Inspected all levers, linkages etc. and discovered that the tiny spring that operates the choke was not connected at both ends. I prepositioned it with a pair of needle nose pliers. Stuck her in a garbage can full of water and hit the start button. Fired up 1st try and I was able to throttle up and back with no hesitation or bogging down. YAY!!!!! As soon as the storm passes we will head back to the lake. Video to come!
