Yes, I did try it without the air filter on, didn't make a difference, but I did see a little mist of gas being pushed out the air intake end of the carb when I tried to speed the engine up. It did the same thing before I rebuilt the carb.
The vent hole is open and I ran a fine wire thru all of the internal carb passages, blew carb cleaner thru them too so I know they are not plugged.
I tried three different needle valve levels just to make sure that wasn't the problem.
I pulled the head cylinder off to take a look at the rings and piston, they look fine. After putting it back together it started on the first pull but won't speed up. Took the muffler off, same thing.
I'm still stumped why this won't run!
