Just start turning different screws. You should be around 6000 in the water atleast.

Go to the back of your motor and on the right side there will be a screw with a spring around it. That will get your oow rpms up.

Leakdown? Compression test? With no load? Even if it was leaking it should hit the limit out of the water...

Check to make sure your throttle is opening the carb all the way!

I think this is the one they are talking about...looking at the back of the motor, above the exhaust shield.
