Hey guys I'm new here. Just recovered my stolen bike the other day but the bad news is it isn't running very well. It will start up sometimes but it seems like it's getting way too much fuel cause when you try to rev it up it bogs out and dies. I adjusted the carb to the factory settings, haven't mess with the float bowl or anything.

So the bike will start up, but want to die almost instantly unless I really "feather" the throttle, as soon as I open up the throttle it starts to bog and die and there is no keeping it running. I then proceed to pull the plug and dry it cause it's usually wet, let it sit for a few minutes then it'll start up again.

Anyone have any suggestions? I don't know a whole lot about 2 strokes, carbs and setting them up.

Bike was stolen? How's the air filter look? Did the thief (thieves) run premix? Was gas left in the float bowl for a long time? Lots of things to ponder.
