Are you sure you got that pilot jet cleaned out? That orifice is so small you can barely see sunlight through it when it's clear. You have to use a fine strand of wire and poke at it real good. Compressed air, carb spray...none of those work. The factory carbs are just as simple as an aftermarket to tune. Carbs are cheap though if you don't feel like messing with it.

I bought and installed 2 of these and they work just like new.. I did pull out the main jet on the old carbs as they were off, but other than that.. GOOD TO GO

and for $29.00 it was worth it for me...

only thing is all the choke, fuel shut off etc are on the other side
