Bike sitting for awhile..

So My Elite S was Probably outside for 2 months, even some rain got to it.. Looked like Petcock was leaking because oil was everywhere and i was outta gas lol.
Specs,Corsa,DD Block,Ct black/Ct Chrome half half. 28oko,DDX pulley, Kelley medium clutch.
Refilled bike with gas/premix,Bike ran good for a couple days then I just tried starting it up and it took awhile and i had to put the choke up.
First couple minutes it ran perfectly fine at about quarter throttle. Once I tried half throttle the bike would some what bog in a weird way but not a regular bog where your jets are wrong. So I let off the throttle while coasting and the bike idled but when I tried to throttle, it sounded like TOTAL Starvation then it died.
After checking spark plug and making sure gas was going to carb I took the Filter off and tried to kick start it but no luck at all for a few minutes. So I pulled the choke up and put my hand over the carb and after a few kicks it started. I was riding with out problems back home with the filter off and half way to the house the motor does almost the very same thing and loses power when i throttle after I let off the throttle because I was turning onto my road.
Walked the bike up to the house and i kick started it and it died in about 2-3 seconds. I took apart the carb, and there actually was some residue at the very bottom of the carb right on top the part/Outer screw you can take off to change the main jet. So i cleaned the carb and jets and took the petcock off cleaned it a little bit and made sure it was screwed on proper so it wouldnt leak.
Took Head Off and cylinder looked fine.Spark Plug looked pretty d*** good actually. lol. And the bike does the same thing every time i start it and ride it or try to ride it...
Just when I was gonna take this bike apart to rebuild it.
