Default tower 46 troubles

I got this engine last year and had no problems, this year after about 20 flights it would die after full throttle
for a couple seconds.Tried new fuel , fuel lines, fuel tank , plug , adjusting the needle to the point of removing it
and it still does the same thing. So I took a carb off another 46 and this engine runs great, put the old carb on and
it dies at full throttle again. Took the carb apart and cleaned it with carb cleaner same thing. A friend suggested replacing the o-ring gasket when I reinstall the carb, been there done that. When I had the carb apart and sprayed cleaner all through
it I did notice it coming out where it should so fuel does pass through and it does run fine at idle, just not from half to full throttle.
I'm stumped so any ideas would be appriciated, thank you,,,,Craig
