Jon makes a good point about engine problem diagnosis strategy. Always do the carb last unless it is spewing gas everywhere.
They are a chunk of metal with a bunch of holes and a diaphragm and a check ball or two. As simple as they are, it is difficult to open one up and say "Ah ha, there's the trouble". In my experience I am more liable to do more harm than good when digging into the carb. That's why I save it for last. And usually the carb wasn't the problem to begin with.
