The engine tends to stutter

Hi, I was doing a stage1 upgrade on my gokart and I have a problem seen in this video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13v-RwPzP9oGjb04vQnMt0b_qKiwLGYGe/view?usp=sharing The engine tends to stutter when quickly adding throttle from low rpm. it's a honda gx200 clone engine and I have replaced main jet for the 0.037 diameter jet including the emulsion tube, air filter and exhaust. I also replaced the low rpm jet with the one that comes with all those jets. I feel like the engine is low on gas for how much air it has at one time. I have searched the internet and tried fiddling with the screw on the side of the carburetor that adjusts the gas/air mixture ratio, but it has no effect. Do you know what it could be ?

Stumpling when ya dump some skinny pedal usualy is due to a momenary lean condition. I'd tell ya to fix yer accelerator pump, but ya ain't got one.
Someone smarter than me can tell ya how to fix it.

If all the fuel delivery to the carb is good, it's usually down to the gaskets and insulator.
Jetting a standard carb for a basic upgrade isn't always required. Take the plug out, it should be a nice tan colour around the tip, whiteish and it's running lean, black and it's running rich.
