OK, probably a long shot, but ... old motor, bad vacum = bad fuel pressure. New motor = correct (much better) fuel pressure, which could esily have sucked some nasties out of the fuel line into your freshly cleaned carb, plugging it up.

Gravity draining a line doesn't always clean it well, and there's plenty of surface area for old slimy crusty stuff to have been sitting between the new fuel filter and the pump (or even in that little line from the pump to the carb) - see where I'm going with this?

(and actually this is a little more than a stab in the dark - I cleaned out my tank with marbles twice, new lines, filter, etc and still had to clean out the jets several times in the first month I was back up and running - never really DID figure out why, but each time there were holes plugged in the main jet)

Sorry to be such a ray of sunshine, Amigo :)
