If you've had to put the high speed jet on max lean for it to run well, it sounds like you're running too rich for some reason. If you've completely closed the high speed jet (turned it in with the lever or knob off (remove the screw) until it stops, then the carb must be leaking internally.<br /><br />Follow Joe Reeves directions for setting up the carb:<br />

It's far better to clean it mechanically by rebuilding it than relying on a cleaning agent, as you can be certain about it's cleanliness, and you can update the various rubber and cork components to modern fuel tolerant materials.
