CHUCK HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN A CARB APART BEFORE IF SO I WOULD TAKE IT APART AND LOOK INSIDE TO SEE IF EVERY THING IS OK POSSIBLE SOMTHING MAY HAVE GOTEN STUCK IN A PORT SOME PLACE YOU CAN CHECK THE REED CAGE AT THE SAME TIME. I CLEAN CARBS OUT WITH CARB CLEANER FROM THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE -OR TAKE THE NEEDLES OUT AND SPRAY CARB CLEANER IN THE HOLES WITH THE CARB OFF YOU DONT WANT THE CLEANER TO GET INTO THE ENGINE IT WILL DRY SOME THINGS UP YOU KNOW LIKE CYLINDER WALLS THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD. SOME THING TO THINK ABOUT
