Will give it a shot. Thanks.
The fact that when reassembled there was a slight improvement
also supports your idea because I think the carb kit did nothing.
BTW how likely is it ever that the strainer in the bottom of the
fuel tank gets partially plugged? And how often does an overhaul kit
improve things? Nothing I saw in the kit looks like it could go bad
except possible the diaphragm, and while mine looked a *little* floppy
I doubt that would cause problems.

In my experience rebuilding carbs the problem is almost always dirt in a
jet or orifice or somewhere, I seldom buy a rebuild kit and often make
new gaskets myself. Not very often do they need any new parts.
