Out of curiosity, where did you get the fuel tap from? Anyway, you now need to get a correct fuel line also. Then you will
know you have no fuel restrictions. Have you cleaned the tank out also?

I got the fuel tap from Jon of saving old seagull.
I cleaned also the fuel tank,
I bought another fuel line which is genuine and new, When I will receive it I hope it will match the fuel tap.

I received a new genuine fuel line, now it matches the fuel tap. The two connector are of different sizes.
Now I solved the problem because the engine accelerates but I got the opposite problem, the engine is weak at slow speed, it misfires and stops when I clutch the propeller. I suppose there is some water in the gas, or in the carburetor, or there is poor gas, it doesn't keep idle speed and misfires. Any suggestions it will welcome.
I've also cracked the mounting bracket, should I replace it or I can keep it like it is? In the pics crack seems to stop at the hole, but in reality the crack doesn't stop, it is complete for all bracket.

How the hang did you do that?
If it where me I would find another... or at least get it welded up.
Try cleaning the jets in the carb again.

If I tell you how I cracked it, you will think I'm stupid, the same I felt when I did it.

By the sounds of things you're nearly there with this 102.
I would double check the points and spark plug gap again just to make sure everything is where it should be. 0.20thou or 0.50mm for points and plug.
A very good and thorough clean of the carb,fuel tank, and all filters will help too.
Try the engine again and see how it runs this time.
