Sounds like either you didn't get everything out of there, or else the problem that caused there to be trash in your carb bowls is still letting trash in. Do you have a fuel filter inline as the last piece before gas hits your motor?

no i have the filter on the motor before it goes it the carbs i assume one in the tank last night i took it all apart again took out the needle and seat sprayed the hell outa them in both carbs with carb cleaner put it all back togther and wouldent you know it the top carb stuck open again if a in line filter is in order i can make that happen. i was just scared it was something way more serious also real tough to cold start without starting fluid andkinda steams after full throttle for 5 minutes stops steaming when i come back down to idle just wanna give you the full backround
