ditto, just take them apart and clean them. Do make sure you have good fuel and air filters fitted. Blocked jets tend to starve the engine off fuel so
it’s unlikely to be that.
Also check the cold start system is turning off and that the fuel float needle valve is sealing properly, might be worth shaking the float to see if
its been filling a bit with petrol and sinking. That’s quite a common problem with carbs and often noticed on bumpy country roads. If it is, simply
place it on a radiator and the fuel will evaporate out. Some epoxy will seal any pinholes.
