I know, same. Driving me nuts. I think that it may be the cuppling that connects the carb to the g2 reed valve. It looks good and has three hose clamps on it but maybe their is the slightest air leak. So i guess i screw around with that, and change the cdi and plug.
Well, hope you discover the issue, and I wish you the best of luck, and maybe you'll find what your looking for! Now off to eat some peanut butter crackers

If you were adjusted for very cold weather, the current jet may be to big now that the weather is warmer.
Last thing to consider is: Are you using ethanol gas? Before 100% gas came to my small town I had to clean my carburetor jets about every 3 months.
A 100% gas has nothing to do with octane level. Using ethanol gas in small engines is like pouring sugar into your gas tank. It eventually clogs the jets. Find a place that sells a 100% gas or get ready to rebuild your carb every few months.
If I'm not mistaken, gas with a higher level of octane actually has more ethanol content then regular gasoline (to achieve the higher octane level), so technically the fuel your using now may be worse for the carb then, say, if you used 85 octane fuel. Of course this may be outdated information, or outright lies, so you might want to verify that.
here in canada our 87 and 89 contain 10% ethanol. Thats why i said 91, because it does not
The gas has nothing to do with this problem. Both my bikes and my friends bike have ran off 91 for a year perfectly fine
91 octane can still have ethanol in it. Here in the USA in order to be sold as 100% ethanol free gas it must be labeled as such on the pump. However, the majority of repairs I do on lawn equipment is damage done to carburetors due to ethanol gas being used.
I suggest drawing the ethanol free gas off with one of these instead of pouring it out of a bottle.
Watched another video, if you do this removal technique use 91 or 93 octane. Removing the ethanol will drop the octane levels some.
Was a slight air leak and small jet
