^ After you re-clean carb, add an in-line filter. (paper)

I definitely gotta help you. Get a very thin peice of welding wire or guitar string.

Sounds like the finicky bottom chamber jets are plugged. The ones in the float bowl are not always "cleaned" with carb cleaner spray can pressure or even cleaned through soaking.

These jets and the main jet, with the little tube next to it clog easily as well. You can also use a wire twist tie.

Take your time if you do this.

Be careful if you attempt to remove the jet in the little tube.

Youll need a really good jewelers screwdriver to get that one loose (edited)

I got this good quality set that has 8, 2-3mm wide, 4 inch long rods that remove from the handle. Pretty sure it was intended for pc repair but one of them fits the pilot screw perfectly.

Be careful of the cheap jewelers screwdriver sets.

Ive had them break, midway through the jet removal on similar carburetors

Hell yes! Get that hopper running and enjoy the 25 mph freedom!!!!!

Took it for a ride yesterday, short ride, 1/2 mile or so. Ran great. Started right up today, took off and it bogged down again just the same as it was doing before. At this point, I am going to do a full removal and very thorough tank cleaning for both tanks and wait for the new carb. I'm also wondering if my 2 stroke oil is an issue, I'm running a generic motorcycle oil, but am curious if switching to something better will help. Any other tips are welcome, thanks in advance.

So to update, I have pulled the tank and upon further inspection realized it's fairly rusty inside with some sludge in the bottom. I rinsed with old gas 3 or 4 times, got most of the sludge and debris out, then soaked overnight with vinegar. Rinsed the vinegar out this morning and refilled it, have been vigorously shaking tank every couple hours, I have a small handful of nuts in it as well to hopefully break rust and or residue loose. I have also replaced the carb and have a new air filter on the way. Once I have the tank back on I am going to replace the fuel line and filter(again). I think it was a combination of the tank being dirty and some bad 2 stroke oil(it was black and smelled of ammonia, and once I dumped out the rest of the quart it had chunks at the bottom). I might finally get this thing going tomorrow.

Update 2

Tank is clean, all new lines and filter, petcock clean as well. New carb and air filter. Started up, idled ok, revved good for a minute, then was bogging down when given throttle and wouldn't idle. I am going to pull the new carb apart and inspect the pilot jet on it, I may drill it up bigger(thoughts?). I am a little confused at this point though.

Problem solved! It was the plate where the choke and throttle connect to the carb. I took a shortcut and ran the old plate on the new carb, that was a mistake. It wasn't exactly the same and wasn't sealing at all. Swapped the new one on today and it fired right up and with some minor carb adjustments it idles perfectly. Took it for a ten minute ride and it ran great!
