Help!! I don't know what to do!

Well it's possible it might be causing an air leak, 200 feet to start is pretty damn far. Even 100. I can start mine in 3 feet hell I can just lift my rear end up and lightly press the pedals down and it starts.

It might not be the carb, it could be the jet (inside the carb) it could be a fouled spark plug, or a failing mag/cdi or a blocked exhaust port.

Start from the bottom up, one thing at a time.

Looks pretty tight. Your bike frame has to conform with certain dimensional perimeters.

My own bike lacks the proper space for the engine I have chosen. I am keeping my eye out for a frame that gives my engine more space. Unless you can lower your engine, you will have to get an offset intake manifold so you can then rotate that carburetor counter clockwise until the throttle cable is at zero degrees, or straight up and down. That way the carburetor can process the fuel and air more efficiently. Then end result will be faster starts for one.

The bike ran fine for a couple weeks and this all randomly started happening, is it possible something is messed up, maybe from hitting a bump?

When we checked the spark plug, it was black. We cleaned it then put it back in. Could this be an issue too?
 
Could be a few things, start from the end of the problem and work backwards.

Recently my engine had the retaining pin for my top piston ring either fail or fall out, it didn't harm anything but instantly the power loss was felt as the ring no longer seated well and allowed for blow by.

Could be his exhaust got blocked up, with carbon, could be his spark plug is getting weak (some stock plugs just fail without any reason) could be a loose wire in the ignition system. Could be a failing gasket. Could have a dead mouse in the crank case and the bones and fur are messing things up. Maybe his float bowl has crap in it and it's having a hard time starting (I changed carbs a while back and everything seemed fine but first few runs took a lot of effort to start and even then the first couple moments of running were rough. Checked the bowl and somehow got a bunch of sediment in it, after a quick clean it ran like it never had a problem in the first place.)

Hey maybe his jet is loose in the carb and at times letting too much gas in or something, maybe his choke lever got loose and it's randomly choking or partially choking the motor.

One one way to find a problem, and that's to find it.
 
I've also noticed that there was one day where all the issues I've been having set aside and it ran perfectly. It was a warm afternoon with low humidity. That was the only day in between its issues that it was running. It went for 25 minutes then I turned it off.
