It seems it was a carb issue. I filed the butterfly such that it closed to cover the mid range jet. The fit around the barrel of the carb is very tight but, still moves freely. I also closed the little punch hole in the butterfly. That did the trick. I can get it to chug along at 12-1300 rpm. I now have an issue with it wanting to flood. That is probably because I messed with the pop off valve arm. It is more difficult to start but once it is going it is good. It may just that I have to adjust my procedure to overcome that.
