Last year I never did get my Honda HS35 up to snuff. It still only runs when chocked, and when you take it off choke the idle surges and dies, surges and dies and will not run at high speed.

I tried cleaning the carb, But I did not know what I was doing 100% so I may have missed some parts to clean.

I really want to get it going this year so any help, and/or websites would help greatly.

Ok I took the carb off tonight. seems the gas is just fine. I opened the gas shut off with the hose dangling by itself and the gas dripped out at a consistant pace indicating good fuel delivery so I can check that off.

I did notice one of the gasket sealing the spacer between the carb and head was old and crusty so I will be making a new one from gasket material.

I am attaching some pictures of the carb for reference if it rings a bell for anyone. I am trying to remove that screw in the long middle tube, but it doesn't want to come out all the way? It unscrews to about 1/4" from the opening then just spins and doesn't back out anymore...does it come out?

Heres the screw im talking about.
