I've run some B-12 Chemtool in the gas through this little guy without noticeable improvement. It runs O.K. in the tank with full choke, runs best at 1/2 choke, and it doesn't run worth beans with choke in as shown in this video. Should I just forget about it or spend the big bucks to have the carb cleaned by someone who knows how? Any other ideas?

If you do not think you can do it yourself, then yes take it to someone that can clean and adjust properly

From your description Pez it sound like the low idle curcuit is dirty, it needs to be cleaned out. I agree with Yam, if you think you can't do it take it to a carb pro.
