TTR 125 Carb Problem?

Hey im pretty new to riding and especially to the mechanics but ive been having a problem with the throttle. I have a yamaha ttr125 and it idles fine, but when you give it just a little gas it bogs out. At low rpms it struggles for power and is fairly inconsistent in that power. i was told to clean the carburetor and i did that but my problem is still there. Any suggestions on what it may be? i know theres a lot that can go wrong im just not very good at the diagnosis.  

does this only happen right after u start it cold? u start it with choke or no? tell me more  
RIP old dirtrider

i had this same thing happen to my thumper about 2 weeks ago just when you clean the carb blow out every hole with an air compresser and clean or replace your jets

yeah mostly when i start it cold. it wont run long enough to warm up really. and the choke is out when i start it.  

then u turn the choke off?  
RIP old dirtrider

if i turn the choke off before its warmed up it will just die...
sorry im not really sure what you mean  

Ok. thats a good thing. i used to have one of these bikes and had ur exact problem after every cold SK winter lol. carb would gum up and bog out real bad. u cleaned ur carb? but how god of a job did you do? blow all ports with air, carbn cleaner and run welding wire through jets? if that fails then when u go to start it try the first couple kicks with choke on and after about 10 seconds (no throttle) turn choke off. then kick it without choke and give it some throttle then update back here

maple thats some pretty good advise for him i wished i would have asked this question 2 weeks ago before pulling it apart

ok i cleaned out the carb really good, sprayed out everything with air, and did the choke thing also.
it only started one time out of the 20 minutes i tried to start it.
Sooo maybe fuel pump?  

i would look at changing the jets because mine wasnt starting good until i changed the jets because the gunk in the carb gets stuck in the jets

yeah ill probably check that out then.
typically it starts first couple kicks and the throttle works semi-fine for a minute and it idles fine..
But when i put it in 1st gear and start to go it spudders and has trouble going.. then when i stop it will idle, but every time i give ANY throttle it puts out and will die unless i stop with the throttle. after that happens it wont start again. i dont know if that makes it something else or not but thats the update.  

yup makes prefect sense. r u warming the bike up.take 5 minutes  
RIP old dirtrider

ok so start it, let it just idle for 5 minutes?
i dont think i have been letting it sit for that long before i try so ill do that first thing.  

yup. try to take off on a cold bike and it will stall  
RIP old dirtrider

u can blip the throttle after a few mins not super hard tho to warm it up
