just clean and check the whole system. clean the caurburatur and while your at it you should change the main jet and the needle clip position for your weather were you live. generally when it is warmer you put in a smaller main jet and move the clip up one notch, and when it is colder you do just the opposite, but your elevation might be different so you have to adjust according to that to. then you should clean the filter, which youve already done. then change the spark plug, dont keep on cleaning it because it wont work when you do this, get a new one. if it still dies after this you chould prob take of your top end and see what the piston looks like, dont worry this isnt that hard and it is pretty much impossible to mess it up (you should prob get a manual for it to). if you do this it should run fine. if it doesnt just check back and we will try to help you some more

I had a new plug in the bike. It started up about 7 or 8 times just fine on the new plug. After that is when the problem started happening. Thanks for all of your help

chracing, check and make sure the pipe isnt full of splooge, heat it with a torch to clear it out. I WOULD PUT MONEY ON IT!!!!

i read somewhere that a guy took a clothes hangar and put it in a drill and turned it on in the pipe and it cleaned it out.

We found out that the plug wire was broke. We fixed it and the bike started up, but it still will not idle. The idle screw is turned all the way up. Could the pipe being stoped up keep it from idling right. I sure do thank you guys for all of the help that you are giving me. I am so glad that I found this forum.
