Thanks for the info Tom and Bam41. After posting this I watched a video I found on here and realized what I needed to do. I soaked the jets for a couple hours and cleaned them again with the same tool as in the video (not sure what it's called but it has many small wires or files to clean the jets). The first time I only blew it out with an airhose. It runs better now than it did when I bought it. I did take some advice from the forum and ordered a 125 and a 130 jet. I plan to tinker with it some more tomorrow. I'm also gonna get a UNI filter. I'm so glad I found this forum. I'm learning a lot. I'm a paramedic/firefighter and have never really worked on small engines until recently. I had back surgery and have been out of work for 2 months. I got really tired of sitting around the house and started fixing things that have been neglected all winter. So far I've fixed 2 lawn mowers, an ATV and my daughter's Carbide 150.
