[QUOTE="MikeT, post: 1417522, member: 21398"] History: This is a 2000 XR50 that my son sank in a very deep puddle earlier this year. I pulled off the air box and cleaned it out and installed a new UNI filter. I also cleared out the exhaust and pulled the ignition cover off and dried it out with wire dryer. It ran after that however now about 2 months later (we just haven't had a chance to ride) it will not rev up. It seems to only want to run with the choke partially on. If I take the choke off, it dies. Put the choke back on and it runs. This week I put in a new spark plug, took the carb all apart and did find some debris in the bowl. I cleaned all that out and took the entire carb apart. I was able to use carb cleaner and spray it into every hole with it flowing cleanly through and coming out other orifices in the carb (nothing seems clogged). I also removed the intake manifold and made sure there weren't any dead fish in there but it still won't rev up. The spark seems very blue and pretty snappy to me, I am just Frustrated that it will not rev up. With the choke all the way off it just dies when I give it throttle. The air mixture screw is on 1 1/2 turns out from snug. Please help!! [/QUOTE]
