    Original poster is apparently no longer active.

    Would be best for you to start a new thread.

      As Redman mentioned, this is an old thread. The original poster is listed as a "Guest", probably because he has not logged in for over a year and his account is inactive. Yeah, it's also over three years old with NO activity.

      Yes, you should probably have started your own thread, but since you're here, let's try to answer your question by asking some questions of our own.

      You "put in a carb kit". What kind of a carb kit? Most "rebuild kits" that are available are, let's say, "questionable quality".

      If all you did was to open up the carbs enough to install the rebuild kit, you will need to go back to square one. Hopefully you still have the parts you took out of the carbs so you can do the job properly. You will need to follow THIS TUTORIAL to the letter. It's going to take some time, it's going to take some chemicals, it's going to take some tools. Any shortcuts you take will only be an opportunity to do it over and do it right.
