Yeah you just need to clean the carburetor.

Your main jet is clogged, 5 to 1 odds.

You don't need to buy anything besides a can of carb cleaner.

If its the first time you are doing it have a buddy there to make sure you don't leave anything out.

Luckily its a pretty easy carburetor to clean.

Just pull it off the bike. You can even leave the top on if you want. pull the bowl off, clean it out maybe with carb cleaner and a toothbrush, then unscrew the main jet.

You are going to need like a spun out brake cable or some kind of tiny wire to poke through the main jet.

There are plenty of videos on youtube.

Not sure if there are any QT50 specific videos but any Jog or Zuma carb is going to be almost the same thing.

Thank you so much for the advise! I will pull it apart today and post my findings.

Ill have a look at that i just cleaned out the carb and am trying to get it running now so I'll take it off will it need a new gasket?

Ant tips for tuning the carb? I had it idling for 30 seconds then it stalled

you got two screws there. one is idle rpm the other is mixture. if its on the side of the slide thats closer to the airbox its a air screw on the engine side of the slide of the carb, fuel mixture screw.

turn it to around 2 turns out. 1 1/2 to 2 turns out, from fully screwed in. and dont turn it in hard. just find it closed then unscrew 1 1/2 to 2 turns. start your bike. it should run. if it hits but doesnt idle, then screw in the idle rpm screw some. more in means higher slide, means more air faster speed, more, faster rpms. if it bottoms out pretty quick as you screw it in maybe its turned up too high. you can look at the back of the carb maybe with a flashlight and look downit to see where the slide is when you turn in the idle rpm screw.

should just be sorta cracked. and when it starts, you up the idle to sort of a high idle rpm. like itd be high for you if yo8u set the idle at that.

then adjust the mixture screw for the highest rpms.

just sort of keep your idle rpm the same thou as you do it and lower the rpms if it gets up too high while your adjusting it. keep it about the same.

once its set. lower idle to normal idle.

if it goes all the way in, and is best there, then the jets too big or small or its clogged.

clean or up or down jet. if its a fuel screw itll be too rich. air screw, itll be too lean of a jet. or probbaly clogged, maybe.

Thank you everyone I got it going now have nice clean power! put in a inline filter now working on a air filter.

The oil line into the carby I'm afraid is not supplying a lot of oil I pulled it of when it was running thinking that it would be dripping out but nothing... there's oil in the line but it's not dripping out? Should it be or is it more of a vacuum thing?

What air filter? stock?

Don't use sponge of foam directly over the inlet without a screen. When the foam starts drying out and crumbling it will suck chunks directly into the motor. Get a piece of screen.
