jets don't wear out, et, so look for the reason it melted(leaned out). will probably explain the crappy running now. keep running it as is and it will probably melt again.

This is what I'm worried about - melting it down again.
And I'll admit I'm not that good with carbs. Most everything I can get my hands into pretty good, but never seem to have much luck with carbs.
Some good info in this thread so far guys. Thank you.
I'll check the plugs when I get home from work.
