I recently purchased a 2001 ET4 with 1,000 miles on it. It has been running great but I recently ran it almost out of gas and now even with a full tank I can't get it to run smoothly at high RPMs. It starts fine and will idle well. Once I twist the throttle it hesitates and stalls like it is flooding. It almost feels like the choke is stuck open. I am guessing it is may be a clogged jet but any insight out there would be helpful!

I would absolutely get the carb pulled out and cleaned. Just rode my 01 ET4 tonight, they are so much fun.
