Thanks for the input, guys. What you suggested makes perfect sense. When I first disassembled the carb, it was considerably scaled up on the inside with white or yellow crystaline deposits that were quite stubborn to remove. Obviously, I did not get the passages as clean as I thought i had. i will pull the carb again and start over with cleaning and inspection today.

David, the current load of unleaded gas is about a week old, mixed 24:1 with Poulan Pro 2 cycle oil and the recommended amount of fuel additive. In the tank, the gas is dark blue. Hard to see in the photo, but the gas in the bowl is a very, very pale blue.
