Spree stalls when Auto bystarter kicks in

I just pulled the ole spree out and cleaned the carb. But the oil outlet line was not dripping oil while running. I bled the oil lines and primed the pump and got nothing. So I mixed my gas and was on my way. After the first tank I filled up at a gas station and mixed the oil in the tank. I'm pretty sure I made it too rich. I started having stalling issues right away. The Spree would fire up and run well for about 5 seconds.

I added some gas to thin the ratio a bit and this seemed to help slightly. It would fire right up after a bit of waiting and then stall.

I figured out it is stalling when the auto bystarter kicks in. So I checked my oil lines and they were finally pumping oil. I cleaned the carb again, put regular fuel in, and it still stalls when the auto bystarter kicks in. If I unplug it I can ride.

I checked all of the jets, they are all clear. Could anything else be causing this besides clogged air jet?

your pilot jet is still clogged

clean the carb again, pay special attention to the pilot hole.

Thank You guys. I ended up using a baby syringe. I bored out the tip a little until the brass tube part of the pilot circuit fit inside of it. I used to seafoam and kept pushing it through until I got good flow. All is well, I really appreciate it.
