OK, a thorough carb cleaning 'almost' did the trick. I removed the main and idle jets, gently ran oxy-acetylene tip cleaners through the very small holes, cleaned everything with gumout and reinstalled. The bike fired up with the first kick start and ran well until the bowl emptied. Apparently the float was sticking shut or the orifice clogged. I removed the bowl and re-inspected the movement of the float... Looked ok. Opened gas line and flow through the float valve looked good. Reinstalled and the bike ran fine until the bowl once again ran dry.
Then it got too dark to work further.
I have small clear bulb fuel filter inline that appears good. Maybe the small section of fuel line between the filter and carb is disintegrating and clogging the float orifice? I'll run some fuel into a glass and check for contamination. Else the float is binding.
If that fails, then it appears time for a carb rebuild. These any good?
