Yes +1 on that. Though you may notice it had already been suggested that he strip and clean the carbs.
It doesn't look like he has done this.

Hey RamJam i remember helping you last year when you said you were unable to get your blocked and damaged pilot jets out ? If they are still in there could be the problem?
