That sounds like an ignition or valve problem to me. Pull the valve covers off,
turn the engine and look for anything out of the ordinary. Check your plug wire
routing, point gap, etc. Look for intake leaks.

It tries. It stutters, stumbles, backfires.
I asked about the run-on solenoid because the original German 30 pict-3
oesn't have one, at all. Nothing to plug.
I got it to at least start again by advancing the timing back to the
wrong spot" (set static at "0" -- TDC). With timing at the proper 10
TDC static I couldn't get it to start at all. I still can't get it to
dle so I can put a gun on it and time to 27 - 30 total advance since
t has a 009 installed.
This is annoying. It ran fine for 1000 miles. That seems to be my
ersonal breaking point. That's about how many miles the Raby motor
itting in the broken-rear-end-Rivi has on it.

I know I have a bunch of 30s/31s and 34s but I'm not in a position to
lend them out right now. I travel all week and my parts runner is
off in the USMC, go figure.
Simply put however I don't believe your problem is the carb from your
description. if you take the screws off the top, check to see if the
fuel is at least 3/4 the way up the bowl.
You could also have a stuck needle valve that could be causing either
starvation or fuel puddling which will make it run like crap.
Either way a pipe cleaner and in about 20 minutes you can go through
all the passages. WHen you pull the throttle lever does it try to
run?
