Just a few suggestions. One, open the drain on the bottom of the carb. to
make sure you don't have water in the bowl. Two, make sure the fresh gas is
getting to the carb by leaving the drain open while you pump gas into the
carb. If it doesn't run well then, remove the carb. bowl and clean the jets
and needles. Particularly the main jet, the idle jet and the float valve.
Had this happen to a motorcycle more times than I want to remember.
