Thanks for the reply.
I did remove the jets and some of the holes had junk in them. Nothing was completely blocked. Carb-cleaner and thin wire cleaned them out.
The spark plug was cover with a thin black layer as per normal. When I turned the engin over there was a good spark.
Since my last posting I dismantled and cleaned the carb again. Putting it back to gether I the float got stuck down. This proved that there was no lack of gas to the float tank. Even when the engine was running for a few seconds, there was lots of gas.
I am thinking it might be a bad exhaust valve. After the engine runs for a few seconds then dies I notice a wirring sound of exhaust leaving. It lasts about 20 seconds after the engine is stopped.. like the exhaust is slowly leaking out. Has anyone noticed this? I am hesitant to take apart the head unless there are no other options.
Tired of walking,
Jeremy
