Did you clean out the fuel tank before filling up with gas and taking the bike for a spin? A few people (I'm one of those 'few') have had crud built up inside the chinese gas tank and it sends all that crap down stream to the carb fairly quickly...

Don't worry if the carb came "sealed with tamper screws"... tons of ways to get those out and replaced with good quality ones that can be removed any time with tools (flat head screw driver and allen bits usually)

I was hoping it wasn't going to be the carb just because it's a real pain. No, I didn't clean out the fuel tank before filling up. I wish I would have known that before. Do you really think my carb can be that dirty off 50 miles? Should I replace my whole carb? Also, do you have any recommendations where I can get these hoses?
