Those old carbs are pretty basic. Start by taking off the bowl, removing the jets and blowing through them with cleaner or compressed air. Look through them make sure there isnt a blockage, spray everything down. If you get stuck repost and we can help. When you reassemble the air screw should be 1.5-2 turns out from lightly seated. then try turning it half a turn at a time one way then the other to get the idle at its highest point. then readjust idle with the idle screw. When you ride it if there is a slight bog anywhere on the bottom end you can turn the air screw to try to fix it.

If anyone has a better method and explanation please post. I would also make sure the throttle cable is properly adjusted, not too much or too little play, make sure it is opening the carb all the way. Maybe clean out the airbox. Replace spark plug and make sure the cap is still well attatched and not corroded at the wire.

A service manual could cost you more than the sled is worth :lookaround: Well....almost.
