    Blocked jets - try purging the carb. Engine running, cover the throats of the carb with one hand while opening the throttle. This will force the carb to pull excessive amounts of fuel through the jets and sometimes this is enough to unblock them.

    Suggested it on an earlier post on this thread.

    Well that didn't work. I guess I can take the top part of the carb apart and clear the nozzle that way...
