My 2008 Hammerhead 2stroke starts and idles great (it was a freebie that the previous owner had problems with). When I open the throttle it increases slightly but I can only get going to about 5mph. On occasion, on the stand, I can get it to rev up high and the back tire spins accordingly. But usually on the stand, when I give it WOT it won't rev up. It only has about 240 miles on it.
Here's what I have:
New Carb (tuned--the old one gives me the same result)
New filter, hose, vac petcock, good vacuum, sprayed around with ether, no leaks.
New CDI box
New Coil, gapped plug
Compression about 120
Throttle cable/mechanism inspected
cvt cover removed, inspected, seems fine
air in tires, rear brake seems ok
Premium gas, good flow to carb
Checked reed valves
Muffler clear, no exhaust leak.
Frustrating because it seems like I've gone through nearly every possible scenario. What am I overlooking?

..BAD TO THE BONE..
Jet was too lean....#87.5 was too rich. Just for fun I installed an Ebay 'cheapie' 2T Mikuni clone Carb. Problem solved!! The Mikuni caused me to soft seize 2 BBK's ..why?...no clue. All I know is that it screams now with the TK Carb.
