    Be careful when taking the carb apart. IIRC, you should remove the high speed needle before you separate the carb top and bottom, or you can bend the high speed needle.

    The low speed jet should be removed and cleaned, as noted above. Do not scratch or deform this tube. If there is a gasket on its flange, make sure the gasket goes back in. Also, remove the plug in the top of the carb and clean out the area where the idle tube goes. These areas are typically plugged up with old fuel.

    Spitting out of the hole in the rear of the leg is typical. You will not see a steady stream.
