Mike, it does sound like a fuel problem, maybe it's just a plugging inlet strainer in the carb. Pull the hex bolt on the carb [above the where the fuel line enters the carb] & make sure the inlet strainer isn't plugged. ~Next, unscrew the knurled nut on top of the tank fuel shut-off, then open the carb bowl drain, then hold that knurled nut down & make sure you have a pencil sized steam of fuel flowing for 30 seconds plus. [if not, find out why or post back] ~If all ok per above try opening the load needle [in the center of the bowl nut] 1/2 turn more at a time & see if that helps, open 1/2 turn at a time until it is open 2-3 turns more & see if it gets better. ~If still no better, pull the float bowl & look for rust in the bowl, then pull the main metering nozzles from the bottom of the main wells & make sure all the little side holes are open [common problem]. ~If still nothing found post back for other options. ~I presume it ran ok after the carb clean out & just lately got worse? If it has always been bad since the carb work, post back for different places to look.
