    Unfortunately these lttle carbs do tend to clog much faster than a 4 cycle and they are a bear to rebuid properly. If you did carb kit and there is still no fire you may be close to giving it to a repair shop. They usually charge 75% of the price of a new unit just to rebuild the carb, go figure

    No, you said you already put in a kit so there should be no cleaning needed. I guess it all really depends on how well you installed the kit. I can do most any job but have hit the wall several times with carbs, especially small 2 cycle carbs.
