All great suggestions for you to try. One other is the fuel itself. This pump gas with enthanol is getting worse every year. It boils very quickly when hot outside or under the hood. If you let the fuel sit for some time with no stabalizer the enthanol will start eating up your carb seals etc. So if you have old gas get rid of it if not put a bottle of octaine booster in it like Lucas ($10.95) sold at most auto parts stores and see what that does. Couple guys at the Texas San Marco meet last year (late March) were having similar problems and the octaine booster cured it.
