There seems to be gas in the oil by the smell of it. I so have a yamaha oem petcock but I don't think that is the problem. Gonna do an oil change this week.

Just because it's the Yamaha petcock doesn't mean your float valve isn't flooding the carb. If it's not turned off and the float valve is not shutting off, then the gas can get in the oil.

Have you Really told Everything you know about that bike that would Possibly relate to the problem you're trying to solve?
Nobody can Know the history and maintenance.

I have to admit I have no carb knowldge. Please don't mind my lay man's terms... having said that... the pivot rod for the float seems to work. By that I mean it easily flops up and down when I flick it with my finger. The manual says to bend it to the right depth but I didn't want to break it and had no idea what that meant. So. I replaced the gasket and put the bowl back on. And did an oil change. I noticed 2 things. Some small sand or glass like grains in the oil and only a few. Not metal shavings. And...the same in my puke tube that comes, I think, from the air box. Took it for a short 1 mile ride. Seemed like it was "bucky" in first gear. 2 and 3rd and 4th fine. I have a whistling noise as well which could be an air leAK but can find it. Comes from the right side of bike.

Re: Hard starts and stalling Reply #22 - 10/08/16 at 23:50:47 That float that you flicked up and watched it fall down has a valve on it. If you pull the rod that float pivot s on. You can inspect the float valve.

I changed the bowl gasket and changed the oil. Now I can't get it to start with out excessive throttle and can't keep it running with out excessive throttle. I have failed.
