Hello all, new here. At a total loss as to what this is... also, only ran on day 1 of having it!

There are no identifying markings that I can find. It ran great on day 1, sat for a few days. Now getting it started is a chore, and if it does fire up, its drivable for a few mins before giving up. I have very little engine experience outside of the 2.2/2.5 turbo mopars...Any help is appreciated

Just want to add Ive tried

-New gas

-Tearing down and cleaning the carb

-New fuel filter and lines

-Verified electric choke operational

you either have to much gas or to much air. it should start on choke with no throttle if spark is good. one test is to take out plug, try to start it and see if gas is puking out cylinder. then put in a bottle cap full of gas directly into the motor at the plus hole. add a new dry plus, put it on choke and start it. do not use throttle. it should start right up if spark is good. if not you may have a low spark or a low compression engine.

CT is a no-go today, found a tear in my gauge's hose... I did try gas directly in the chamber, and it did fire up for a moment. Im guessing (because I haven't done a compression test yet) that the issue is in the carb- a gray area for me.

Carbs arent that bad. People get scared of them. Just youtube "how to clean carb" and "how to tune idle on carb" and "how to tune mix on carb". They are really not hard. Put a WHITE trash bag down where you are gonna work. Get a can of carb cleaner. Take 1 thing out a a time. Once you have clean that 1 thing, put it right back, unless there is something more under it the need to be cleaned. Then take that out clean it and put it back. For tuning you wanna start with idle screw all the way in. Then you are gonna screw you mixture screw all the way in. The screws only need to be lightly seated. Now the only issue is that your quad isnt running. Normally you would screw it out until it is at the highest rpm you can get it with the mixture screw. Then go to your idle and slowly turn that out till it has a good idle speed. Im gonna say the normal turns out is 2 1/2. So just put them both around there and see. Start with the carb cleaning then tuning. Youtube will really help with the carb. They do seem imitating.

Are you filters clean? Is there all the proper fluids?

      Okay so I bought this 1997 sazuki king quad from a guy and he had it for a few years. 
      He had it registered and on the trails last year but he said it bogged and backfired when he would try to drive it. so it sat for a year. 
      I bought it for 800 bucks and got it running that night and it ran great for a few days 
      But I parked it the other night and went to start it again and it was really hard to fire up and when I did it was bogging and idling high then low again.
      So I took the carb out and cleaned it (ended up doing it twice because it was still doing the same thing) 
      Now today I have it running slightly better, but it is still like 20% 
      I have been looking it up and trying to figure it out but I can't find the issue, has anyone else had this problem? I'll attach a video of it running and giving some throttle

      Oil is getting in the air box from crankcase vent tube, I put the two hoses that go to the air box together then something started to smoke on the front of the engine. There is a filter? In the line I blew that out.
