My problem was a piece if trash in the needle and seat. Not sure where it came from but got thrown into the carb. Removed said obstruction and runs fine.
However, I did take it to a good carb guy and had him go over it and tune it out. Runs like a champ.

Said trash in needle and seat. Everything else was clean.

and that pic is the poster child for why you don't use teflon tape on fuel system fittings.....
