define "soaked the carb" - these carburetors need to be disassembled and the jets thoroughly cleaned out for any type of cleaning to work. Here's a diagram of the "usual suspects" (which I have circled) - remove the carb and disassemble it, making sure that ALL the circled jets, needle valve, etc are thoroughly clean and free from gunk, deposits, etc and I'd be willing to bet you'll be back in business
After you do the full disassembly and cleaning, then we can look at other issues - your symptoms definitely fit with either a plugged jet or jets though
