What do you have going on, carb issues? Ive torn a few apart. Give me a quic update.. What carb is it? Oh wait... I'm only familiar with jap carbs. Mikuni, keihin, etc. But they all have the same concept. Slide, needle valve, main jet, pilot jet, float, you get it. Is it choking out when you start it? Dumping fuel from the overflow? What air system does it use? Have you pulled the plugs to see if it is rich or lean..

Morning
Dave, Im not sure how far you checked into the setting the carb but it sure does sounds like float level is wrong and or the needle isnt seating.
To set float level have the bowl off, hold the carb upside down and the float should be level or just a hair high. And to check needle seating, if you got an adjustable air guage, again hold the carb upside down and blow air through the fuel inlet. The needle should unseat anywhere from 5 to 8 psi
