Yesterday me and my bro went riding and when we were about to do a warm up lap his bike stalled. We couldn't get it started, i thought it was flooded so i played with it for a little and it started right up. He complained that his bike wouldn't idle, we are both beginners and i was stupid enough to mess with that little screw on the carburetor. The idle problem was fixed but once he started riding again he complained of loss of power. I tried his bike and the problem is when you accelerate (high RPMs) bike is fine but lets say you're on first gear and you're getting off bike sounds like it wants to stall and you gotta back off the accelerator. We are really frustrated. If this is easy to fix ill try to do it my self if not ill bring to a shop. Please help guys

thanks

Do you have an owners or service manual? If not, get one, you will need it.

Locate the air screw on your carb and turn it 1/4 turn counterclockwise and see if that makes an improvement.

i just tried that, but i feel like the screw is totally maladjusted. and the bike stalled after that. i think it may be a jetting problem? but it ran fine before i played with it. if u hit the throttle just so it won't stall it boggs, badly. it's fine at higher RPMS though!
