!997 powder special bog

I have a bad bog/stall off start. It starts, idles fine, but when you ease into the throttle it stalls. .

Too much air, not enough gas. Close down the air bleed screw 1/4 turn at a time and let it run for 30 seconds to adjust to the new setting, then push the throttle. Keep doing this until it runs worse or dies then back off by 1/2 turn....should be fine.

If it's lean it would backfire when you hit the throttle but yours just bogs which means it gets too much air/fuel ratio as soon as you open the butterfly by pushing the throttle. Just need it a tidbit richer at idle to compensate for the split second when the butterfly opens.

It gets more complicated with jets and things but yours was running fine at some point which make me think it's not a jet issue. It just back off the screw because of vibration.....or you could have some gunk buildup to block fuel flow but you said you cleaned the carbs.

You screwed up the adjustments a little, doesn't take much.
