Cleaned carb how? Complete disassembly and soaking, then replacing or cleaning every orifice or jet?

ran great for about an hour and then it started the same thing im thinking that particles from the foam insulation on the cowl is getting in the carb so i took all of it off and cleaned it good also the thing the throttle rides against broke half way so you cant run past half throttle im looking for one now

An in-line filter designed for outboards (pre-mix) would be a good addition too.

He's speaking of the piece that bolts under the flywheel. When you turn the throttle it pushes the carb open. I don't know the name but you can locate it in the parts manual. Leave the model number and someone can find the part I'm sure.
