take it apart again and make sure all the passages are clear,

put it back together with fresh gaskets and a clean filter.

I bought a rebuilt one many years ago,

I couldn't get it to idle worth a damn,

took it apart and there was a glass bead jambed in one of the perculator tubes.

not saying that's your problem, just sounds like a blocked passage.
