Meerkat 50 carb issue

I bought a 2005 Meerkat 50-4A off a friend of a friend. It ran great when I picked it up and even on our first trip out. Now it takes forever to start if it does at all before the battery dies. I just took the entire carb apart and cleaned it. Nothing out of the ordinary or super dirty. I put it back together and still wouldn't start. I checked the spark and it's got good spark. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your replies. I'm a dad who wants to spend time with my son RIDING not tinkering all day.

Well I took Spliffy's advise and his crash course on the valve adjustment and HOLY COW!!! It works, fired right up!! I couldn't believe it, the thing purrs like a kitten. Thanks for all the help, now I can go for a ride without tinkering for an hour beforehand. Thanks again to Spliffy.
