It would pay to remove the pilot jet and check it for any form of blockage (fwiw)

How do I remove it?
Cheers

Yeah can unscrew that jet with a flat head screwdriver (from looking at the picture) and then the bottom part of it can be removed with a spanner (8 or 10mm). Clean that out and make sure there is no gunk blocking it. Another thing to make sure of is that the diaphram (the black rubber thing) is seated perfectly. If it isn't the slide won't open and the bike will be slow as.

How do I know if it's seated right? I kinda don't follow what you mean.....I'm just dumb

Well the black rubber bit (called the diaphram) will seat in a little recess under a cover. If the diaphram isn't seated in the recess and sandwiched between the cover perfectly there won't be a proper seal. If there isn't a proper seal then the vacuum won't form properly and the slide won't open at all, thus starving the engine of air and fuel.

Well when you seat the diaphram in, there's a little gap for this little rubber tag thing to stick out, so I think it's seating right, I'll take a pic tomorrow

Also, I'm looking at the carb, where are the screw bits for the jet?

The screws are the things that you remove with a screwdriver. I'll try and find a pic of a screw and a screwdriver on the net.

my God, you're so funny!

But I asked where the screws are, not what a screw is, thank you

Let me re-phrase it, are those slots on top of the brass looking things used for screwing them into place

Yes. The "brass looking things" are the jets. And the slots are to use to take the jets out. CAREFULLY. VERY BLOODY CAREFULLY. And then use a GOOD spanner to remove the other "brass looking things" , the ones with the 6 sides . CAREFULLY. And CAREFULLY remove the float (CAREFULLY push out the pin). Under the float is a needle. CAREFULLY remove this (DONT BLOODY LOSE IT). Now check all this stuff for any shit in it. And check throughly in the holes that it all came out of for any shit. Especially the hole the float needle came out of. Once everything is CSM clean, put it all back together . CAREFULLY.
