Default 1975 kawi 75 mini dirt bike,need some help, only runs at full throttle

Hi, I will give you a quick history, the bike ran great, the kid played with the oil injection and then it would not run, it then sat outside for about 2 to 3 years. Today he brought over and we drained the gas tank, oil injection tank (both filled with water the tank was not rusty inside) blew out all the lines. We took the carb apart, it was filed with crud and cleaned it up the best we could and got everything freed up. we then put it back together and put a 40:1 mix (amsoil) in the tank (we did not use the oil injection yet) and dragged it with the quad after a while it ran but only at full throttle. we put some amsoil injection oil in the injection tank but have not tried to start it since putting it in. it may run rich now but I want to make sure that the oil is going to go thought the pump ( we did not tank the pump apart). If anyone could help that would be great, when should the oil pump though? how do I know if the pump works? how to I make it run and idle? I don't know what to touch on the carb? there is a went hose that comes out of the crank and that spit a little motor oil out of it. please give me some things to do and how to do them. Thanks a lot

P.S I was wondering if anyone knew the gap for the plug? Also what oil do i put in the crank case? reg motor oil? bike oil? weight? How do i go about adjusting the carb?is there anything I can do about a leaking seam on the tank? Thanks
P.S please keep the ideas coming I would love to get it running.

Did you blow out carb passages? sounds like it's still plugged.

It is not stuck wide open, it's just that I have to hole it wide, you have to hold it wide open to keep it running.

Have you cleaned out the jets good? Especially the pilot since it does not idle?
