I have been through this things carb twice. Compression is 145/150. I found a bad reed on Sunday (cracked, did not come apart) and thought AHH HA! FIXED! but no... it's not.
This thing has never really idled right but it seems to idle ok for a 2 cylinder. When you snap the throttle it just dies. If you nurse it a bit it will pickup RPM. choke does not seem to help. Fuel filter is always full (new) and if you pull the return line off even as it's dying there is a trickle coming out.
Just put fresh plugs in it, there is no high speed mixture (fixed with a jet) and fiddling with the low speed does not change anything.
I am wondering if it's me (assembled the carb wrong? used photo in manual for gasket placement) or maybe the needle/seat as I did not replace those when I rebuilt the carb. I did dip it and blow all all the passages.
It's a mikuni 38mm carb on a suzuki twin engine.
