Did you order those tires online? If so could you provide a link? Also that spree looks great. Makes me almost wanna buy my mother in laws of her and do that exact thing.

i ran a 2.75x10 in the front ( normally the rear on a crf50) and i ran a 2.50x10 on the rear as there are clearance issues unless you go modding rear fender and more i believe. If i was to actually purchase them I usually run IRC kids tires on my 50's but i had these extra laying around so thats why they are on there.
New question Carb issues was running great now it does not want to go it will start and idle perfect but when giving gas it bogs and dies i can get ti go but it is not great at all.
I have cleaned the carb ten times and it seems to be an adjustment issue also before it would only run good with air filter off.
all suggestion appreciated
thanks

Update
Running with airfilter and cover on but will run for a half mile then bog and i have feather the throttle to get it back. It seems to be over loading with fuel. Also i had it running good but up to about 27mph but if i turned the throttle WOT it would bog so i have to leave the last little not untouched. I did get a new float since mine was not right. Also in order for it to run the air/fuel is only turned out maybe a 1/4 turn as opposed to the 1 7/8's it should be. If i start at that point no good comes from that. I have moved the neddle circlip to the bottom slot in hopes to richen the bike that is not working so i guess i will try the other way today and go from there.
thanks

needle clip should be in the middle, compression test should be on your list of to do. also did you wash the filter and reoil? might want to check for an air leak, since the carb was off "10" times look there. it almost sounds to me(im not expert) it might be to rich. oh by the way nice spree!
