My honda elite wont run right. I cleaned out the gas tank, put in a new spark plug, soaked the carb, resealed the gaskets, and cleaned out the gas lines. but nothing is working. i have to kick over the engine at least 20 times before i get it to start up, and when i do i have to keep the throttle up all the way for to stay running(it doesnt idle). but it only runs for about 10 seconds before the engine dies. when i would spray starter fluid on the outside of the carb,the thing would idle for about 2 minutes, which made me think it was a vacuum leak in the gaskets. but after fixing that, it still doesnt work.
