A couple of things to check.
1) dirt, grit, or even a rag fuzz in the dashpot cylinder causing the
piston to stick.
2) not fully closing butterflys, they must close flat.
3) bad poppet valve springs. Cut them off the butterflys and solder up
the holes, file the solder flat.
4) uncentered jets. I never saw a jet centering tool but if you loosen
the jet nut (large nut under the carb) and raise the piston, (dashpot
removed) let it fall til it thunks then tighten the nut. Check it as you
tighten that nut.
