Hello all! My names Connor and I am about a week into owning my first (preowned) mb.
Earlier today on a ride to autozone I sprung a leak from my carb (NT) and managed to stop it, ive been having issues keeping bolts tight until getting threadlock, especially on the little expansion exhaust (banana looking one).
On my ride back i noticed the power was incredibly low, the engine stopped if I stopped, it was jerky at times and i was hearing like an air hiss pop sound. almost like popping a lil co2 canister or something.
The seller didnt know his fuel ratio and i dont have a gas can yet so i was running trufuel 40:1, probably gone thru a tank or so so far since purchase (2L). no fuel filter on the bike.
Im not exactly sure where to start as i've never worked with engines much, but i'd rather do some work than spend money.
In any case if at all possible! thanks for the help!

. The carb leak is no big deal, however it depends on where it is and how you fixed it. You likely developed an air leak in your carb gasket. Another thing, your mix is a little light on oil. The oil mix should be closer to 36 to 1. Are you running ethanol free fuel?
