So you have checked the carb mounting and ensured the small vacuum hole is clear ?
Replaced coil plug carb fuel lines ? I'm wondering if it is mixture settings related. Or possibly a compression issue

Have you tried spraying wd40 around the carb area, if revs climb then you have air leak.
New carb mixture setting off.
One option try old carb?

Hey buddy don't get demotivated as yet ,I went through some headaches of my own at the start but it's just making you more knowledgeable on your babe .And now that I have worked out all the little problems I can't even remember the last time I had to do any major adjustment to her .I just mix fuel ,charge the battery and bash away nonstop then drain my tank and carb ,clean up and put her away for the next time .I love it?.when u get her working properly she won't disappoint . One more thing the MT IS A BEAST and you will only really enjoy it when it's in rugged and dusty terrain, don't babe her ,make full use of those massive tyres, but just make shore your inner air filter is oiled to trap all the dust. I've also taken off the body and post so she looks like a mean buggy .The beauty of this beast is colorful low profile buggy look.

have you checked the filter thing in tank try running a length of fuel pipe directly through the filler to carb and try running it up, wouldn't risk driving it but rev it up will be ok. If it runs ok then got to be fikter thingy in tank.
