First of all - thanks to everyone that has helped me get my Yamaha ET250 almost running! Here is the latest twist....After running pretty well over the past two weeks (with full tank), I started it so my son could ride around the yard. Although it would start, I could not get it to move - kept bogging down with throttle. Not only that, but while "idling", the damn thing kept revving up and then back down again. It will do this for 5 minutes and then stall. I sprayed the clutch-side seal with ether, but it didn't alter the revving pattern. Eventually I got it going after a lot of feathering of the throttle, and then it ran pretty well, idled OK too. No change in idle speed with ether sprayed at seal. Why is it doing this?

Possible moisture in gas........
Put a couple of oz. of fuel drier in it with the next tankful.

Drain the carb bowl, probably water in there.
