If you have to keep the carb choked for the engine to run then it means the carb is running or set too lean. It could just need the mixture screw backed out about a half a turn.
If you go to the Sears parts page I left you in the link....scroll down below the diagram and on the bottom left you'll see ten different pages you can click on. They are engine, wiring, seat assy, controls, deck, etc.
As far as a service manual..... I haven't located one. You may be able to purchase one from Sears.

You do know a deck, idlers, blades spindles, belt ECT. will cost as much a running better condition mower will cost, right?

Since now when you have the choke on your getting smoke it would appear that you have richened up the mixture but not enough. Something is still clogged.
