    Pilot circuit is VERY lean.

    Pilot jet is most likely plugged, fully or at least partially.

    Pull the pilot jet out, clean it and make sure all passages are open by running a wire through them.

    What pilot jet is currently in there??

    What is the fuel screw set at??

    yesterday we messed with the fuel screw and set it at 1 1/2-3 1/2 turns. it will idle now but it doesent run as good as before.it will go a liltle without me giving it gas.but the throtle response is much better.im not sure what pilot jet is in there we havent touched that yet.
