Generac IQ 2000

Generac IQ 2000, will start on choke, as i turn choke off, it starts revving up and down, the red light comes on as to say its over amped and will not run, on run setting on the dial, will only run while on choke, have drained carb bowl, new gas, has spark and compression, not really sure what to do to get this running normal.
