there are three things that can go bad on those carbs
1-diafram
2-bowl gasket
3-rubber plug on the slow jets (i have seen these for sale on some sites for around $3.00)

if these are all good just clean it

take it a part and remove those 3 things before you spray it down
with carb cleaner

under the main jet there is a brass tube you need to remove to clean. it comes out threw the throat of the carb
