Evilone has been tuning these carbs longer than me.

His suggestion is probably a safer combo than what i suggested.

I would buy a bunch of different jets. Elevation and temp have a lot to do with what jets you will need.

Also disable the power jet if your carb has one. (the pink tube that leads into the mouth of the carb)

I stuff little ball bearings in the tube to disable it.

The main jet is super easy to replace in an OKO carb. Tools required are a 17mm socket and a 1/4" nut driver.

The too small main jet in you carb now is your problem for sure.

My jet recommendation is based on a similar setup and my location. get a bunch of different jets like Tj said.

Then your float is either bad or you have trash in the needle and seat. Do you have new fuel lines and an additional in-line fuel filter? If not change the lines and add the filter.

Take the carb bowl off and clean it out. You might have got some dirt or something down in there.
