This may be somewhat repetitive... but:

(1) Make sure you have a steady, strong fuel flow from the tank to the carb, AND

(2) Drop the bottom half of the carb and (assuming it's a recent rebuild) blow out ALL passages (both directions) with compressed air.

You might be surprised.

It doesn't take much of a rust flake to affect performance.

Best of luck.
