Running Problem - Carb/Air Filter

[SU420]

Ok so heres the story
2 days ago:
My quad ran but it could only do 1/3 throttle then the gas would stop going through causing my quad to bog out.

Today:
My quad ran same.....1/3 Throttle i wanted to do a small cruise at very local spot but it broke down at top of a hill and wouldnt start....tryed choke...let sit n tryed with fuel off cause possible flooded. Anyway i was in neutral rolled down hill into first n pop started it going into 2nd, but end of hill rolled then stoped cause now i couldnt give it any throttle .....same like when i went past 1/3 throttle.

Brainstorm:
i think i need a new plug....let carb sit in sea foam......and clean air filter
Questions: Where can i get sea foam n which type to use?
Is my air filter a pod clamp on? im 99% sure it is

half pic of carb n air filter:

You have an Outerwears prefilter over whatever kind of pod is underneath. Wash that prefilter in water with soap after every ride, it doeen't need oil. (OMG, I've never seen dirt caked on one like that before)

As for the main filter, take it off and see if it is foam or a pleated K&N. They have slightly different cleaning routines and use different kinds of oil. Clean it when ever it gets dirty. The pre-filter will keep alot of stuff off, so the time between cleanings will vary.

I would wash the whole quad before taking off that filter, especially the carb area. You don't want any of that gunk falling into the carb throat.

If you are going to clean the carb, spray carb cleaner is your friend. Buy a couple cans and never let it look like this again. I would be amazed if you didn't have some dirt inside by now.

Technically this is thread-jacking, you should start your own, but as a newbie you get one free pass. Buy a Keihin 35mm PWK. Plenty of airflow and extra fuel for that Big Bore.
