In case you have not cleaned a carb youtube has many good videos on how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...retor+cleaning

You probably haven't got it clean enough, or some more dirt/water has got through.

A new spark plug probably wouldn't hurt. Check to see how dirty the air filter is, might be time for a new one.

This is a good carb cleaning guide
Cleaning the carbs 2 - Ninja250Wiki

Make sure your tank, petcock and lines are clean. I once bought a new dirt bike that had sat on the showroom floor for a couple years. Carb kept getting plugged. I finally checked the tank and it had tar like substance lining part of the tank. Never seen anything like it. One final carb, tank, petcock cleaning and all was well.
