    OK, well will it idle OK with the silencer back off the engine?
    I’m thinking you did not get all the crud out of the carb, and more of it has moved around restricting fuel flow.
    A nozzle gasket problem would be evident at higher speeds, when the engine could run rich due to the extra fuel being drawn in, low speed would not be affected much.
    Have you gotten that nozzle out, or did you just soak it? I would work at getting that nozzle out, along with the lead shots, and check clean the low speed circuit completely…
