My first thought would be the screw that holds the carb bowl. It has a little orifice and 4 holes evenly spaced around the base of the screw and it is vital that all holes and orifices are completely free of gunk and trash or varnished gummed up stuff. That must be cleaned. I use B-12 Chemtool carb jet spray. I suggest using compressed air as well. An old guitar string (G,B,or E strings) works well but do not make sharp bends with the wire! It will snap off at the right time and poke your finger. This case calls for a little common knowledge Lol. And supposing the main jet has been sprayed and blown out. Main jet is the tube with many evenly spaced holes around it. Some are removable. I clean my carbs using a welders torch tip cleaner files. Never ever ever force a wire too large in these orifices and holes. Always use the nxt smaller size wire.

Does the engine want to bog down when you move the throttle? Or does it do absolutely nothing? If it bogs down when you try the throttle, It could be: water in the gas bad or distorted diaphragm (if no float) stuck needle valve stuck float I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/karl_14766549451f8563

ethanol additive in gasoline causes deterioration of fuel system parts, especially primer bulbs. Needs to be replaced...relatively easy for mechanically minded or bring to dealer. Check Amazon for parts...they are cheaper than most dealerships. Hope this helps....
