I bought a 572 on marketplace and it idles if I press the throttle slightly but won’t rev up at all and seems like it floods at idle and does. I put a new carb rebuild kit in it and spark plug and filter.

Not sure how to post a video

Couple things. Check the plug and wire. Make sure the crank case bearings are good so that the flywheel can’t wobble. Check the blue and red ignition wires from the coil to the carb for breaks or shorting out against the casting. Remove the flywheel and make certain the key isn’t sheared. If those are good, it’s possible that the nozzle in the venturi is bad and it’s also possible that the coil is bad
