It would start after a few stomps on the starter switch.

I pulled the carb back apart and took a look at everything again and recleaned everything and reinstalled it after it was put back together.

Then it wasn't starting at all. Just turning over. I got a little angry and just held the starter pedel down and it stayed running while starter was engaged. So I put a spark tester on a wire and plug and sure enough only had spark when I held pedal all the way engaged or played with it.
Could it be bad starter? Pedel? Something with the wiring?

I just down know. And don't want to dump money into parts that aren't bad.

Thanks everyone for all your help so far.
