    Tried your setting. Didn’t help. I took the carb apart again just to be sure I didn’t put it back together wrong. It’s pretty simple and was put together correctly. I did notice one thing.  The packing on the needle valve is a 1 piece packing on the original. Part # 171113 I have used packing from other kits that were left over to make the packing nut hold the needle valve. Not sure if this would be the culprit or not. I also notice fuel spills out the top of the carb when you hold the prime after a fuel seconds. Since there are no real seals except the one for the cover and the one for the manifold not sure if that is normal or not. It still sputters and dies out quickly once it fires and does not stay running. Open to all suggestions. Diagram of carb attached. Not sure what I am missing.
