does it rev up..before you shift gears ?..if not..then your carb isnt cleaned right.. if it does rev up..and then you loose take off power..more than likely your clutch disk plates are worn...you may even be able to adjust the clutch before you decide to replace them.

yeah..from the sound of it..you need to pull your carb off..and go back through it. make sure you pull everything out..all jets..with a single wire..from a wire brush..and some carb cleaner spray..work the wire through all the jets..sounds like the jets are stopped up from gunk...do not use alot of force when working the wire in the jets..if you break the wire off inside the jet..you can kiss it goodbye..lol..after you do all of that..if you got an air compresser..blow out all the holes before you put it all back together..it should run good after that..oh..also check your choke cable..it could be stuck ?..alot of trouble comes from the choke cable sticking.

I'll try to get a more thorough cleaning done again, the only challenge I see is the connection of the choke cable at the carb and how to disconnect it at the carb. thanks again

it's easy to remove..get a 14 mm open end wrench..un screw it off..very easy ..also..when time to put the choke back in..be very careful not to cross thread it..it's only plastic threads !
