motor is running funny, seems to be missing power sometimes and a sputter here and there, i think the low speed carb jet is clogged because of the guy who cleaned the carb said he didn't clean that part but the high speed jet was very dirty (before i bought it) so anyways, i am hoping to figure this cleaning out myself without screwing anything up i hope.

the think i don't understand is if i have to have a rebuild kit, or buy anything other than carb cleaner ?

Just a 1 gallon can of carb cleaner and you should be fine. It is possible that something could be bad or tear up during the repair process though.
