Just wanted to update this thread. I picked up a rebuild kit, pulled the carb and took the top off. Drained the fuel out of it and stared at it for a few minutes trying to get familiar with all the passageways. Pulled the jets, accelerator squirter, and accelerator diaphram and started blasting every opening with carb cleaner, followed with compressed air. "wash. rinse. repeat", paying special attention to the vein between the accelerator pump and the outlet, I put it back together, fired it up and all is good again. Thanks for the tips gang. You folks are great!
