I recommend running a good quality top end cleaner, ATF, or water through your carb to clear out any carbon, and take this possibility out of the equation before you do anything else.
Can you tell me exactly how to clear it out with water? I did the fresh top end rebuild a few months ago so I'm not sure how much carbon could be built up
