Have you checked the pilot jets aren't blocked as all carb bikes run off the pilot jet first then main for the larger throttle openings.I took mine out for the first time last week, it's been sitting around for a couple of years , it started of fairly well but bogged down after 100yds run like a ba g of toad and was throwing oil smoke out of the pipe. Got it back home and he pilots were totally blocked again, also there was a lot of crap in the fuel filter!! :smt003
