I went ahead and boiled the carb for 30 minutes in citric acid. It cleaned up nice. Still had a problem. I think I found the issue though. Before, it only ran well when it was partially choked.
Without the air cleaner on, it runs perfect, unchoked.
If I put just the tube on the carb, it runs poorly unless I partially close of the tube with my hand.
With the entire air cleaner on, it runs poorly. Filter is new.
Here is the deal. The air cleaner has TWO holes. Inside the air cleaner there is a turbine looking baffle. Anyway, When you block off the one tube, closest to the engine, it runs great. If you open that and block the other one, it runs poorly.
So...I just blocked off the one intake hole. I think that hole was originally supposed to have a 'dust collector' attached to it which would essentially block it off anyway. It runs great now. I've never had an issue where too much air from the air cleaner was bad, but that's what it seems to be. **SHRUG**
