Answer
does this engine have a primer? and did you clean the main jet? the main jet is also the bolt that holds the carb bowl on
they are very sensitive to dirt i use a torch tip cleaner when i do it because they are sized just as jets are you can use the proper size for the jet and not oversize it.
