Finally, 🙂
Used an ultrasonic parts cleaner to clean the carb (three cleaning cycles with 50-degree C heat), and now the motor is running (YEAH). Before I received the ultrasonic cleaner, I cleaned the carb using several brands of CARB/CHOKE & PARTS CLEANER SPRAYS to no avail. The carb must have had gunk or something that I could not get to.
Maybe if I would have soaked the carb in a cleaning solution for several days, then try the spray cleaners, I may have had the same results, but the varnish would not come off using just the spray. The ports and seats on this carb are super tiny and have to be very clean.
Again, Thanks for all of the helpful replies, the members in this club are AWESOME!
P.S. (now all I have to do is get the other 50+ motors I have running as good as this one). LOL
