Question:
I recently purchased a 125B leaf blower. It cranks fine and runs good at half choke. If I open the choke to try and throttle it up, it bogs down and dies. Even if I don’t try to throttle up, it bogs down and dies while at open choke. I use the same fuel mix for a weed eater with no issues, so I don’t think it’s bad fuel.
Answer
My guess is you Need to adjust the T-Screw slightly, gas seems to be too lean when running choke off. Are you living high up as in Colorado?

Adjusting the idle speed will not help as it is a lean mixture fuel problem. Most these carburetors have tamper resistant caps on the mixture screw(s) to prevent the average operate form changing the setting. The local should have the tools needed to remove these, make the adjustments, and put these EPA limiter caps back on.
Actually if you at higher altitude you would be needing to lean the mixture as there is less oxygen at higher altitudes.

no guessing here. The carburetor needs adjustment. Most dealers will charge a minimal service fee for checking and adjusting the carburetor. Out of the box, almost all power equipment today favors a "lean" adjustment due to EPA concerns. After break-in, readjusting the carburetor, tuning it to the local environment will enhance performance.
Equipment purchased from an authorized dealer will usually be set-up serviced and adjusted before you take it home. Your servicing dealer will normally give you valuable starting, operation and maintenance instructions which will make your ownership experience more trouble free.

One problem with line of thought. We got some big box dealers like Lowe's and online dealers out there that just sell the handheld equipment in the box.
But you're that the equipment does needs to be setup properly as the factory only does a will start adjustment. I have where even the internal carburetor adjustment was off causing lean burn. And lean burn is not good for the equipment especially 2 cycles as oiling is provided by the fuel mix.
