It could be something as simple as the air/fuel mix. Have you adjusted that and checked the plug?

Otherwise, you will probably have to dismantle the carb again and look for possible fuel supply issues.

I'd check to make sure the jets are in correctly, check the float valve and that he diaphragm is properly seated.
