Default trailblazer 250 hard to start

My trailblazer has gotten where it is hard to start,on cold startup it starts ok but not like it should and once it heats up you might as well forget about it! I have cleaned the carb and made sure fuel is getting to it ,also have hooked up the timing light and getting fire. sometimes on a hot start i can full throttle it and after spinning it over for 10 -15 seconds it might start and it might not . this machine is all stock except for the oil injection being by passed and the oil injection port on the carb sealed any ideas?
Thanks, James

Same excat problem here.....well its taken apart now piston has a hole burnt right on the side of it....you mine as well start looking into a new top end cause its just gonna get worse...its gonna come to the point that when you are riding its just going to die and you are **** out of luck cause that means top end is blown...happend to me luckily i was with a person who had a truck or else it would have been a looooong push home

Wrong jetting....or say you take off your airbox cover and do not rejet it's gettin more air but still the same gas as stock...when you re jet you let more gas flow for the added air flow you are letting into the engine
