Took the carb out for 5 minutes and tried with a wire in the inlet to clean it but gave up. I just ordered a new carb lol, Any mods I can do to raise the speed?

Thanks dude, I will definitely be getting that rebuild kit but one question. How do you get the fuel inlet valve off?

The manifold has small cracks around it but I don't think its cracked all the way through. I will try the filters,, but I will add that the gas goes past the filters but stops at the fuel inlet nipple. Ill change those just the be sure though. I also changed all the lines out with new ones. The fuel inlet on the carb seems to be completely clogged, I put a hose on it and blew and also shot compressed air and it wont go through. Sadly I did break the little arms that hold the float in the carb so I will prob need a new carb, know any good place to get one?
Edit: I have the fuel pump and the lines are clear and the little part moves up and down when I suck on the hose

It will run with starting fluid but immediately die, the most it has ran was about 13 seconds at FULL THROTTLE

I just bought a 2011 hornet off of craigslist for $100. The previous owner said that it sat for a year or so. I emptied out the gas tank, and cleaned the carb and bowl. So far it would crank but not run, I changed every hose with new hoses changed the spark plug. Its getting a good spark and it has a vacuum but it seems as though its not getting fuel. I pulled the carb bowl off and it only has a small amount of gas at the bottom. I also cleaned both carb jets. I then put a hose on the carb fuel inlet and blew air in it, and found that it was completely clogged. I started to clean it and I broke the little metal piece that holds the float :l (not the rod). Where can I purchase a new carb? And do you think that was my problem? Also it would start if I sprayed starter fluid in the carb but then die.
