Exactly what I went through getting mine to run. Clean the carb. I ended up cleaning it five different times to get it running right. The main jet and emulsion tube needed special attention for me.
I've seen it several times where the guys here will tell you to clean the carb several times. I thought I did a great job the first time but it's amazing how many little holes and passages need to be taken care of in the carb.
Make sure you have a good air filter and there are no air leaks.

Clean the carb a couple more times while it's raining then.
