Ive checked the timing as you said. everything checks out. this is why i posted the question to start with. ive done everything that can be done but nothing seems to fix the problem. im thinking i must have gotten a bad carb. but thats hard to believe because the engine runs so well once it starts. although i have detected a slight miss when the engine is under a load.
