Have you checked the filter in the front of the carb. You're not getting enough fuel flow for the air your moving. If the filter isnt clogged and you have fuel moving freely into the carb, then the carb fuel input is plugged, idle circuit is plugged, the needle and seat that fills the bowl is jammed closed, or the float is too high. I would contact Lars and get his input. Good job on narrowing it down. Your problem isnt to common. Congrats on your troubleshooting skills. Now to fix it. Do you happen to have another carb floating around you could use as test?
