Guys, Thanks for the great info. Studman, I'm gonna check out those manuals and diagrams as soon as I'm done with this.
Justlooking...Great info on 'how to jet', but after reading that I have a couple questions. The writer talks about "checking and adjusting the float level" and also the "slide".

*How do I check and adjust the float level?
*Should this be done with the carb off the machine or when its up and running?
*Is the "slide" the black cylinder shaped diaphram in the middle of the carb with the needle sticking out of it?

I did not check or adjust the float level when I inspected my carb and looks like it could be one source of problems. Two of my local shops did not have the main jets in stock, so I'm still on the hunt for them. In the mean time, I'd like to rule out all other causes. Thanks again for the info and advice guys!
