Carb issues

[Dom]

Hey, I'm wondering if anybody could help me with hopefully a pretty basic issue. I recently acquired a 66cc 2 stroke. The previous owner complained about fuel leaking out of the carb. After watching a tutorial I figured out that this was a stuck float. I dismantled the carburettor, and in the process: removed the throttle assembly. I adjusted the float height to 21 mm. The motor now no longer leaks gas. On the other hand the motor runs far to rich, needs full open choke and full throttle to start and barely revs to a third of its usual rpm. I thought this was a throttle issue but after taking it apart and reinserting it a few times it still runs like crap. I think it is not the throttle and is carb related. I also cleaned out the carb while it was dismantled. Has anybody else had this issue?

I wonder if the float hight is too high so he runs it out of fuel

Do U know the correct height for the fuel filter? The tutorial I followed said 21mm from the lip of the carb to the top of the float.

Sorry, float not filter

That may be correct, got a pic of your carb?

Sure, what part?

In general, the whole thing, just so we know which brand.

Pull the carb back apart and blow some compressed air through the jet. After that double check th3 float height and put it back together.

No result, same symptoms. Float was at 20.46mm ( where I left it last time) and the jet had no issue

You should get a boot on that throttle cable, you could jave an air leak from there. Could you pull the spark plug and post a picture of the end?
