PW50 No power

[ashzim]

I have a 2012 PW50 that I bought used and repainted and had some work done for my son. Last year when he started riding it it was running good/ok and everything was fine. it smoked a lot and seemed as if it was getting too much oil but that got better. The bike had been sitting for a bit. This year when he got on it for the first time it just has no get up and go. The speed isn't what it should be. Seems like its choking itself out almost. initially thought it might have just been because it was sitting all winter but we did run it out of gas and put new gas in before using it this year. When started and then put in the run position it will bog down and turn off. When he would take off we had to literally give him a push. The throttle screw was let out and no change. Dropped the exhaust to see if the restrictor plate was on and maybe gunked up. The plate wasn't in there. So with no plate and no throttle screw it still doesn't do what it should. It should be flying and compared to last year its barely moving. Took the carb apart and cleaned it out. Carbs getting gas. Throttle cable was replaced last year when we bought it. We removed the exhaust pipe and it seemed like it was sounding better than before but once everything was cleaned and done and we put the exhaust pipe back on it went back to doing the same thing. If anyone has any thoughts or experience with this that they can share I would greatly appreciate it. He wants to ride it so bad and it's driving me crazy. Thanks!
