Your first question will be: What did you use to clean it?
CARBURETOR CLEANER. Generic store brand spray carburetor cleaner. Can clearly says "carburetor cleaner" on it.
With that out of the way, here's my problem: I took the Marvel Schebler carb off my Onan-powered welder to clean it because the welder won't run. Took it all apart, dipped it in Berryman's for 20 minutes, then sprayed everything off with carburetor cleaner, wiped it all down with rags, blew it all dry with air, let it set to dry for a while, then put it all back together.
Went to put it back on the engine two days later, and everything's SEIZED solid. Choke won't move, throttle barely moves, needle is stuck in seat.
Took it all apart again, stuff is "gummy." Cleaned it again with more spray carburetor cleaner, wiped, blew dry. Came back later, still gummy.
So what can I do to get this carburetor clean?
