mrfox 143,I had the same Problem,with the same motor,Read my Post,make sure, them 3 Pin holes in the Throat of the Carb are open,use a thin wire,
there for air fuel mix,also check Needle Valve and seat for wear,

You most definitely have a carburetor problem and it is likely time for a rebuild. By spraying the starter fluid into the throat you are bypassing the carburetor.
