HELP ME PLEASE! I'm out of hair to pull out
Long story short. I have fixed everything except for the idle issue. I have clean the carb more times than I can remember. I've made sure the throttle cable has a 1/8 inch Slack. I've sprayed the outside of a carb with carburetor cleaner to check for vacuum leaks. I even adjusted the valve to make sure that wasn't the issue. The four wheeler runs fine just does not idle. When it's idling it seems like it misses and that causes it to stall. I shot a video and uploaded it to YouTube I will have a link below to show what I'm talking about. In this video you will hear the miss at 7 31 40 42 and 48 seconds. I have the idle ser high so it doesnt stall. What is causing it to miss. Thank you very much for helping me.

Hook a timing light up to it and see if the light is constant or flickers in time with the miss.If it's a constant light it's still probably fuel/carb related. If it flickers it's usually an electrical problem.Carbs can eventually wear out(slides,jet block assemblies,diaphragms,float arms,float pins,none of which are in kits and costs more in completely rebuilding one than to replace the carb.

Exactly what did you do to "clean" the carb. Hopefully you removed the pilot "idle" jet and ensured the tiny ity-bity holes are all free. Removing that jet can be difficult so ensure you use the correct size screwdriver or you'll strip it. I can't count the number of times I've opened a bowl to see that the idle jet was stripped...thus never taken out & cleaned thoroughly...
