Hey Brandon, what did you find?
You can check for sufficient fuel flow by removing your float bowl, placing a suitable container under the carb, and turning on your petcock. You need to determine how much fuel the system will flow in one-minute.
You need about 6 ounces per minute to support 35 horsepower.
You want to perform this test through the normal flow circuit. In other words, through the petcock, fuel hose, and needle & seat. To verify that the tank is properly vented, your gas cap must be installed while you are doing the test. If it doesn't flow at least 6 ounces per minute, something is wrong.
Your carb will look like this picture with the float bowl removed. See the little tang circled in yellow. That tang adjusts float drop. If you aren't flowing at least 6 ounces per minute, and none of the components are obstructed, try adjusting your float drop to allow the needle to open a little more. See if that increases fuel flow. Make sure the system will deliver at least 6 ounces per minute.
Good luck.
