Engine Starving For Fuel

ANOTHER UPDATE: Hello ya'll! The scoot is running; not perfect at idle, but it IS running. The black sooty plug seemed to be from an INTERMITTENT SPARK problem as the charge seemed to be leaking out of the plastic plug cap.
Timing is OK. The aftermarket carb with the Fuel/Mixture screw may need some more tweaking as there is a slight miss at idle but under mid and 3/4 throttle it does not miss a beat when the main jet kicks in. It seems to be a little rich at idle, hopefully I can adjust that out. The plan is to put it ALL back together and sell it (it is the grandsons') along with his Linhai 250 scoot so he maybe can get a sportbike...or so he says.
