Engine Trouble Please Help 4 stroking

Do you have a carb with the two mounting holes?

If so, you can go to sickbikeparts and get a K&N-style filter. Good for performance, engine filtering, and it looks boss.

I bought a foam filter for a lawnmower and cut it up and glued it back together to fit my carb using silicone sealant. It has lasted a long time.
By your symptoms I would say the old carb was running too rich (too much gas). You could of leaned it out by lowering the float, lowering the needle, or replacing the main jet with a smaller one.
