Default 300ex, idle ok, throttle dies

exrider91: I'll look for the butterfly valve and try to test it.
I won't have access to the bike until this weekend. Thanks, for the tips. I'll post back when I get more info.

I have a 2003 Sportrax 300 ex, completely stock.

I hadn't started it in about a year, until recently. It starts ok and idles, but if I give it any gas, it dies. Under throttle, the bike gives a whaop whaop whaop sound and dies immediatly. I thought maybe the throttle jet was plugged, from old gas.
So I removed the carb and cleaned it out with carb cleaner. Put it all back together. Replaced the gas with new 92 octane.
It's still doing the same thing. Any idea to get me looking in the right direction?

Thanks!
My 99 400ex is bored 40 over with a stage 2 hotcam. Recently it would bog down in 2nd gear under full throttle. Took carb apart and cleaned main and slow jet. Slow jet was crudded up a lil. Blew air and carb cleaner through it. Cleaned carb a lil with the cleaner too. Put back together and still didnt run right. Checked the spark plug for the hell of it and it was finger tight(very loose). Took it out fixed the gap to .025, cleaned with scotch brite pad and reinstalled. Now it runs like a beast again. Worth a shot on yours too.
