No its not a new bike I have had for about 7 months, it has 830 miles... I will take off and it"ll makeva gurgling sound and start bogging. My Dad and I were thinking there could be trash in the fuel line or someting? Any Suggestions?

Is the spark plug wet or dry after it acts up??

A gurgling sound like its flooded out??
if its flooding out I'd pull the carb off and give it a good looking over??

Have you done regular maintenance like clean the air filter and keep the valves properly adjusted??

If you think it is a carb problem start by verifing fuel supply to carb.

turn off the fuel valve and pull the fuel line off the carb and place that end in a clean glass container and open the fuel valve and let it run for a few minutes to verify you have a good/constant fuel supply from the tank.

If the fuel runs a bit then slows or stops take the fuel cap off and let some air in the tank and if the fuel starts flowing you have a plugged vent on the cap(it happened to me and someone else)

If you have a good constant fuel supply from the fuel tank then you may want to pull the carb off and take the float bowl off and have a look inside.
If there is dirt/debris in the float clean the carb and tank and install an inline fuel filter.
