the tipoff for me was wet filter, removing the screen under the float valve,carbon fouled plug ,then wet plug,bike stalling as soon as the throttle came off idle,all can be caused by to high a level in the float bowl.he also had gas in his oil,the bike idled (must have had spark& compression) but stalled when throttle was opened ,what changed?(fuel!) the throttle opens allowing a slug of gas in ,but not enough air to support combustion ,(the slide is just starting to open),bike stalls ,wet plug ,funny smell(unburnt fuel,gas fumes coming from the oil into the air box,or out the muffler?) take your pick.the only other think changed was the jets 52.5/152.5 in the ballpark for sea level.logic ,to me said the only factor that could cause all these things was a flooded float bowl. the final clue,"going down hill the bike seemed like it was running bad but didn't stall " the float is pivoted to the rear of the bowl ,the floats toward the motor ,heading the bike down hill shifted the fuel level forward under the floats causing the float valve to be at it's most closed position,stopping or slowing flow into the bowl dropping the level just enough so that the bike didn't stall.
