A good majority of fuel related problems can be attributed to the fuel enrichiner. They are problematic and prone to fail. They require periodic testing and replacement. Thats the first thing to check when having this sort of problem. Most common problem is loss of power through a connector gone bad or faulty ground. there's posts explaining what to look for and how to test. Check the enrichner before spending any more on parts.

ditto the above and a do a very thorough carb cleaning. seems like these CV carbs are really prone to plugging if the fuel sits for 3 weeks or more. best thing to do after each ride where it may sit awhile afterwards is shut the petcock and let the buggy idle until it stalls and wont' restart. then drain the carb bowl and even blow air though the feed line.
