Hi Eric,Welcome aboard.Lots of good advice here from some experienced guys.
I do have one question though.....When you cleaned the carb did you remove the welch plug closest to the mounting flange?
If not you might want to remove that plug by drilling a small hole in the plug being careful not to plunge the drill too far once you break thru. I drill until the bit sust starts to break thru the bottom surface of the plug. Then pry the plug out with a sharp awl.
Look at the 3 or 4 holes below the plug, shine a light in the carb and you should see light thru all of the small jet holes. The hole closest to the carb flange is the idle jet. This is what supplies fuel when the shudder is closed. If this is plugged or partly plugged the engine will not idle properly or not at all.
Maybe you checked this but in case you did not, I suggest you check this jet.You should have got a new welch plug in the rebuild kit, if not you can get them from EC carburetors.
My 2 cents
