By cleaning the carb on the vehicle I meant turn it on, spray carb cleaner down the vents and rev it
I did that today and replaced the filter. If the sand like crud in the bottom of the old filter is any indication of the carb, then yes it is dirty. I felt that it ran better, but then again it could be psychological. I took it for a VERY short spin down the street and yes it chugged at times, but never died.
I also don't know if it's directly related to the slower throttle response, but the throttle cable seems like there is a lot of play in it, as though it needs to be tightened. This could also be directly related to the gas petal being relatively close to the ground and not as high as I would have guessed it should be. I have no idea if throttle cables stretch, but this could be the case.
