Engine would not run smoothly, everything else was good, time for a new carb kit

Removed carburetor from engine. Removed all old jets and adjusting screws and soaked in cleaner for 10-15 mins. Used compressed air to blow out all carburetor ports. Then installed new parts and reinstalled carb onto engine. Problem solved. Runs nice and smooth with a slight tweak of the idle mixture screw.
