Bogs down at full throttle.
I have a 220 that has been setting for 8 years, stored in a shed.
I emptied the tank and reserve, pulled the carb and cleaned it, including opening the reservoir and hitting all ports with an air compressor.
After just a couple of kicks, she started right up.
If I slowly increase the throttle, she will rev up as expected, but if I give her a quicker throttle to hit high rev, she bogs down...
Any ideas?
Here is a video to show...

Running pig rich. I bet the jet block gasket is toast. Especially after sitting that long.

UNRELATED: The rear axel nut might be LOOSE. Your Devol rear disc guard should be rotated fully counter-clockwise till it stops. They hang at 6 o’clock when loose.

I just checked it and it looks like the guy I bought the bike from had actually set it like that. I'll certainly correct it though.MoonStomper wrote: ↑01:12 pm Sep 01 2022 UNRELATED: The rear axel nut might be LOOSE.

Check your oil after a bit and see if you're loosing it. Wouldn't hurt to do a leak down check for crank seals.
