Bike sat during the winter with gas in the tank.cleaned the air filter and cleaned the carb with cleaner by removeing the bowl and liberally spraying the carb cleaner all over and in the jets. engine starts right up and idles nicely when the choke is pulled out but when its pushed in it stalls immediately. tried adjusting the air fuel mixture screw but didn't seem to help. trying to sell the bike for my son who out grew it. can you help. need an answer as soon as possible.
I'd say the carb is gummed up especially the pilot jet (#16158) in this pic of the USA carb. may have to remove the carb & bowl and then remove the pilot jet (w/ flat head screw driver) and clean out the tiny holes.

-OR-
the carb slide is installed backwards (turned 180 degrees). its #16025 in the pic. i've done this before on my daughter's XR70 and Z50. you'll know if its this when you move the choke lever, RPMs increase and decrease.
hope this worked for you and was fast enough.

engine idles but stalls out when you give it throttle. If I keep the choke pulled it tries to rev up but still dies. Is it normal for the carb to spit fuel back out when I try to rev it?
