alright so heres the deal, i just got this motor installed after about 5 hours of messing around with it about 2 weeks ago, it was running perfect till i had run about 1.5 gallons of fuel through it, and was heading back from town one day on it and it started making noises, i knew i was low on gas and figured it was about to run out on me so i kept pushing it for a lil while without thinking much into it, went about a mile down the road as the noise kept increasing, look down and the muffler is hanging off, about to fall off, so i stop the bike 3 miles from home, tighten up the bolts by hand quick and try to start it, and no luck, so on the way back to home i would walk up every hill and try to start it on every downhill with no luck, it has been about 8 days since this happened and i have tryed to start it a good 50 times or so since then after making various adjustments and ect to the carb and stuff, i thought there might be a problem inside the motor so i took it to my tech teacher in school (im only 16 btw) he opened the motor or whatever and said the motor was over flooded and he dumped out about 1/2 a cup of fuel, he said wait a day with it sitting upside down to dry out then put it on and it should start right up, no luck, it just sounds like a regular motor when i dump the clutch with no power, i have checked for spark and the engine is getting fuel, i have adjusted the idle screw 20 different times, took the carb apart 3 times and cleaned it out VERY THOROUGHLY, tryed starting with choke on choke off choke half with no difference in any, i have not gotten a single sputter yet out of this since it died when the muffler was hanging off i have searched this forum multiple different times searching for an answer and have yet to get close to fixing my problem, somebody please tell me what could be wrong!
i also bought some sta-bil for treating gas with ethanol in it, that is also designed to clean out the carb and engine yesterday and tryed to start it 5 times today with that mixed into the fuel with still no luck
