Just an idea------ Is it possible this is a 2 stroke carb installed on a 4 stroke engine??? That would explain the mystery line and rough running condition..... I maybe WAY off ( again just a guess ) but, this would make sense for the conditions described Good Luck again my friend!!!!!! Is it possible the seller sent the wrong Carb??? Or has know idea what is being sold? Let us know how it goes!!!...

Indeed, this has been done before
Look up "sidecar racing"
One of the scariest passenger experiences you can have........
These are professionals with only a few holes to hang on with.........
This is the road version of "wing dancing" ( walking on the wing of an airplane during flight )

There's just something about building your own engine, Not buying parts, but accually making the molds to be casted and making things work on your own.
That is an impressive feat in this modern time of ordering online.
Kudos to the small guy!!! JMHO.

From what you have described, I can only assume it is a vacuum line of some type. ( emissions possibly ) Do you own a camera? A few pictures could help speed up the diagnosis without going through the guess work. Just a shot in the dark guess----- Try simply capping off that "unknown" line. Then go for a ride.... see what happens. Side note---- There should normally be a hose on the carb not connected to anything... ( overflow/ventilation ) maybe 2 inches long with a degree bend.... this is normal and should not be blocked. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I am almost 40. I find that talking to anyone older than me is usually a decent opportunity to learn something new........ to bad I did not know that in my younger years... They say, education is wasted on the youth...... Now days, I would have kicked the 25 year old me in the butt.... I knew everything and nothing at the same time.... Oh well, life goes on and the cycle continues... At some point a lesson will be learned. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

I like those handle bars.... I prefer an upright riding position but, love the cafe racer/sport style ( go figure ) they look adjustable though..... The fairings, Personally, I like the idea of keeping things stock looking---- That is your decision though. As for this being a beginners bike, well, I have a lot more fun on smaller rides so this is almost the perfect bike. Sure you could tune it to whatever you want but, between 40 and MPH is where all the fun is. After about 80 mph you can really scare yourself and get in trouble.......... JMHO. Whatever you decide, I wish you GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! look out for the other guy Please, Keep us updated.........

Yes.....
Ethanol along with build quality equals disintegrating plastics.........
At one point gas never really "expired".... Some cars with 20/50 year old gas can still run on the same fluid. Theses days, you will have to buy new gas...... This is a different topic though so I digress.

If you know how hard this is to do, a story like this restores my faith in humanity and the working mans ingenuity to do ANYTHING.......
Enjoy..... Then share your opinion.
