"The motor will start on the first pull. When I got the motor the fuel inlet passage going from the fuel line attachment to the float bowl was full of salt. I cleaned it all out, blew out all the jets and replaced the needle and seat. When I pump the fuel into the carb the fuel bulb gets nice a firm, so I know the needle is seating. Now the motor runs, but when I turn the throttle up, it starts to smoke profusely, and the rpms dont increase that much. I think it is flooding, but dont know why if the needle is seating. However If I keep the throttle up eventually the motor will revs up but not without barrels of smoke. It is just strange, because it will idle all day real nice. The fuel mixture is at 50:1. Should I replace the carb, soak the current one in paint thinner? could the timming or anything else cause this?"
