Motor good at half throttle but bogging at full??

Kind of lost as to what’s going on, I have a reed valve + windowed piston on a 80cc 2 stroke engine. I’ve got an HP carb with a #70 jet installed. I can ride the bike and when I first start riding the idle is fine but when I get it going to WOT and then come to a stop the idle is really high. I also have the issue of my bike bogging out when trying to get to wide open throttle, half throttle is fine but as soon as I turn it past the whole bike slows down and starts 4 stroking. My reed valve screws kept backing themselves out so I put threadlocker on them and it hasn’t been an issue sense. I tried messing with the air/gas screw and it has no change. Any ideas?

I concur with Larry... That carb is junk, & you'll be much happier with a stock carb!
The main problem you're having is the jetting is too small... Whenever you have a reed valve you need to 'throw gas at it'!!!

Get the stock carb & install a much bigger jet. ;)
 
I have had carburetors that never could be made to work right. Your observation that it idles normal when started and then really high after it has run some would be a really big clue that it’s got an issue. What’s the bolt pattern on the adapter that goes from the carb to the 4 bolts on the reed assembly? I have a couple of flange carbs and an adapter that might fit.
 
I've got these flanges that can be bolted from the back of an adapter to fit OKO carbs

Then there's this... It also opens up some possibilities with making custom intake manifold with one on either side of some 33mm OD pre bent exhaust pipe...
