Ok. I will take a couple pictures of the carb here in a bit and post it here to show what "hole" I am talking about. Is the oil injection inlet on the bottom of the bowl?

On the side that is next to the right leg, there is a threaded hole on the carb. It's like the one next to the "starter plunger" but on the other side. Is there something that is supposed to be in the hole?

Once I got it to push start it ran and we drove it up and down the street and whenever the clutch was engaged it died. Got to looking at the carb and there is a threaded hole on the right side opposite the fuel inlet. I am thinking that hole is where the idle screw is supposed to go? tried...

Pushed it down a hill just now and got it to push start and run. Now think it could be the idle screw?

I took the bowl off and the main jet nut and the little plastic piece off... The jets did not come out. It ran out of gas and that was the reason I quit riding it so there shouldn't have been gas in there. I also just went out and unbolted the pipe and kicked it for awhile and saw gas coming out...

The air box hose isn't hooked up to the carburetor. It did have mouse nests but we cleaned that all out of the air box and tube

I have a 88 Blaster 200. Sat for a couple years. I parked it because I ran out of gas then I went to college out of state and now decided to pull it back out and get it going. Got a new spark plug. New gas (32:1). Took the carb off, took the bowl off sprayed good with carb cleaner. Put it back...
