Default Stalling ,smoke issue

After using gumout carb cleaner on a 01 sportsman . Things got worse it now starts up but if you push the throttle past 10% it starts to bog out and then dies. ones and awhile I can get it to take off and as long as you dont stop its fine.

A few times when it does stall I get a puff of smoke from the carb and one time it gave me a whine noise and even though I was in H gear (stopped)it made a rev movment as if it was going to go backward then stalled and puff of smoke out of the carb


ANy ideas ??

Thanks

Take the carb off the bike and tear it apart and clean it right

IF you sprayed carb cleaner into the carb you could have got a chunk into the jets.This is a first step in finding your problem
