A good sign and in itself, eliminates lots of other possible problems.

It sounds like carburetion to me. You were on the right track there, but I
think you missed a couple things. Did you inspect the float, needle, bowl,
and seat? Or the same areas if a diaphragm type? Disassemble the carb and
clean/inspect. Use a safety wire to ensure all the passages are clear.
Adjust the float (or diaphragm) and reassemble. I think this is causing your
problems.
