    No matter how clean you think your carb is, it might could be that, I know. I once cleaned a carb 3-5 times and still didnt run, then had a friend clean it and it worked, so you never know. Also check to make sure it is actually getting gas. Pull the gas line off before the carb and see if gas is coming out of it. Then unscrew the bottom drain screw on the bowl of the carb to see if gas is filling up the bowl or not. It doesnt sound like too big of an issue since it does start. Just check those out................peace

    what do you have your air/fuel screw set too? its the one upside down on the front of the carb, should be set between 1 1/2 turns to 2/ 1/2 turns normally.

    You do realize that you just answered a 2 year old thread. I'm sure the advice was appreciated, but I don't think the person waited around for 2 years. I hope he has his problem fixed by now, but it was a nice gesture.
