It could be some crud came loose and plugged something up in the carb or is not allowing your needle valve to close and maintain the proper float level (to high and flooding). It could be something wasn't tight enough and came loose.

it almost sounds like maybe its not gettin enough gas......take your carb and gastank off, drain the tank and see if its rusty inside.....then take a peice of copper wire uand snake it through your main jet....break free all the gunk around the orifice that surrounds the main jet also. i got the same snow you did, but unfortunaly my 3 wheelers in peices (puttin the wiseco piston, gettin the head ported, just for kicks)

do you want me to e-mail you all the specs and "how to's" on your carb? I will scan in the section in the book that tell you exactly how to adjust the float ect. Just PM me your e-mail. Also be sure and check your petcock filter if it sat for awhile.

Also did you ever get your compression checked out......this is all a combo thing.....
good carb + low compression = low power
Bad carb + good compression = low power
