How did it run before you took that carb off. When you cleaned it what did you do exactly! You notice the bottom of the carb in where float is filling up with gas! Can you explain that part again.

The carb float pushes on a needle valve that may have crap in it or has become misaligned. It is normal for the float chamber to have gas in it .
Try starting it and then take the cap off the gas tank, the cap vent may be blocked.

how did you clean the jet! with a 6mm drillbit or something! you need special jet cleaner tools or compressed air and then the eyometer to see if its clean the nozzle jet screw that fits on float next time you clean it . We used to add bigger jets and drill out the intake port and cut the skirt shorter on 2 strokes as kids to make them 30kph scooters faster.

I remember doing similar things to Dad's lawnmower, he always complained that it revved well but had no guts once the revs dropped a bit in the long grass!

I removed each jet and cleaned it with some sprey it is like wd-40 then to remove all the oily creasy stuff from outside carb i spreyed it with degreser and blasted it with hose did that before i cleaned jets though then stuck it back on scooter i don't have a drill or the knowledge to bore out holes but thanks for the help i cleaned jets with that sprey and a paper clip haha
