Roy sounds like you have some water and or crap in the Carb. Easy to fix and do.
1. Remove the carb cap and slide/needle
2.undo the bottom drain cap carefully (try not to spill the contents as you want to check for water/crud
3. loosen off both retaining clips that hold carb to reed block and air filter boot
4.pull airboot to the rear and try and wedge behinf a fram downtube to hold in place.
5.remove carb to the rear
6. place carb in ice cream container or similar and give all externals a really good clean with petrol and a tooth brush
7. place a nice clean paper towel on work area
8. turn carb upside down and remove the 4 phillips head screws (ensure you use right size screw driver as they strip easily) also not where the the screwws come from as they may have hose retaining clips on them
9. remove sliding pin on floats and needle seat. do not touch or adjust the little tang as this will adjust your float height!
10. remove all of your jets Im tipping your pilot jet will be the culprit (usually is)Hold the jet up to a bright light and check for blockage
11. Blow all orifices through with compressed air or a can of Carb cleaner or WD40 etc
12. clean all interiors of Carb
13. reasssemble in the reverse order
14. Maybe look at putting an inline fuel filter on.Also you should check for air leaks
hope this helps

By the looks of it Id say it has been well used by some other trail riders maybe not wanting to let it be discovered :laugh: Looks Good Ive come across a few secret trails like that in the Watagans amazing what you can uncover if you take the time to look now and then.(Maps and a GPS come in Handy as well :laugh: )
