Main jet problem. Or the advance.
The main jet can be tricky. There are a lot of threads to install the main jet. if they get bunged up the main jet will not seat correctly and as a result not work correctly.
This exact scenario happened to me.
Took me awhile to figure it out.

Aren't boats fun? Sort of like personal relations. When they're good they're great. When they are bad they're REALLY bad.

Edit: As I recall there needs to be a washer on the main jet passage plug. Did you leave it out by any chance?
