ok here is what I would guess fuel line pinched between body and carb?or the carb itself unless you are 100% positive it is not the carb.If you still need to do the pressure test pull the carb and muffler off insert a piece off rubber between the muffler and exhaust port and remount the muffler.you need a block off plate for the intake with a nipple on it for a hose and mighty vac.pressure up to 10 or 12 psi and spray seals and gaskets with soapy water.
It sounds to me as if it is a fuel issue as seals will allow it to start but will run badly and not idle.hope this helps let me know if you need more help.I do not have a service manual for that model sorry.
