So it will probably just be worth picking up a rebuild kit for the carb. On that note, I tried to pull the carb once before, but I could not figure out how to detach the throttle cable from the side of the carb, which is why I couldn't completely clean it out. Anyone have any insight into how to detach it? Its not like the typical slide out cable thats in a throttle body.

I have a 1999 KQ300 thats been sitting for about 3+ years while I've been away at school. So in the last couple weeks I've been trying to get it running again for a local event called mudfest. I dropped in a new battery, pulled the carb out and cleaned it up a little, changed the fluids and put in a new plug. After all was said and done, the bike runs, but not quite at 100%. I had it going this whole weekend and it never completely quit on me, but it will not idle, and I cannot take the choke all the way off other wise it starts to misfire. I'm a fairly competent mechanic, but I'm not too familiar with this bike, so I was wondering if anyone knew of some if the more common issues with these bikes. I read through some of the other posts on this forum, and tried a few of the suggestions, but it still is running a little rough.
Oh, and for what its worth, when I first started to mess with the bike, I noticed there was some sort of fluid all over the head of the motor, it looked more like oil but Im not absolutely sure.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies guys, turns out it was the low speed jet was clogged, had a tiny speck of dirt in it. The passage was so small I couldn't even fit a sewing needle through it, but I took think piece of copper wire and fed it through. The bike is running like a champ now. Next project: Get the QR250 running
