Spray the starter fluid in short bursts at each side of the base of carb, and wait between shots. Follow this procedure around each port. If idle doesn't change, no leak and proceed with fuel delivery troubleshooting.
I've had to deal with plugged accelorator jets too; like Vernski said, fuel starvation for 1 reason or another.

I am also a firm believer in WD's advice to "wait between shots"....
