Yes i cleaned the carb twice now....and yes i ran like a champ b4.....i had a piston circlip blow out and messed up cylinder but i got new cylinder, piston, rings n circlips and it was running fine after that...but after month n half or so it started to overheat i think becuz id ride it for 30-45mins and itd bog down and die and would be hot as *....i replaced the oil seal behind the variator and now like i said i start it up itll run for 30secs to a min then bog down n die.....

it was running fine like i said but when the overheating started bout 2-3days is when it started running for 30 secs or so and then bogging down and dying.....I just jetted the carb today replace #68 with #78 and i got it running for bout 3-4mins and then it died down again...i think today it may have been dying down becuz i dont think i got the right air fuel setting for the new air filter i put on it when i upped the jet, do u happen to know how many turns for aftermarket air filter?.....
And what do u mean by the slide were it pin set?...And the peacock is fine i checked it and its flowing fuel good.......

It sounds to me that you could have damaged the bore. I think you need more oil sounds like it is lean. Compression Check?

swimmingfree- the slide and pin ur talkin bout, do i move it down a notch since i upped the jet becuz it idles high as * and when i turn the throttle its trys to bog down n die? and i already took off the pump so i can replace the crank oil seal behind the variator and the gear shaft is stuck in the case....
