I spent all of my spare time this week trying to figure this out, there's lots of reasons it could bog down on full throttle, I tried to rule out everything I found from searching online so I didn't waste anyone's time asking a stupid question, I listed out what I tried already. I'm not a pro mechanic and I'm not keen on cutting off my mufflers as I've never done any of this stuff before so I asked for advice.
Not sure why you are trolling me.

And yes, I have the manual, that's how I knew to do all the "utter BS" I listed...

I ain't trolling anyone, these are very simple machines in essence. Have you considered bringing it into a shop and having it repaired?

I'm thinking that that might be your best option given that the motor is only the propulsion end of the machine if you catch my drift

It's actually advantageous to be familiar with all the functions of the motorcycle rather than to focus on the part that gets it moving. Would you agree?

I'm actually more concerned with stopping myself but I'm different.

I also feel like I can accomplish anything with good information. That's why I started on this bike project in the first place, I wanted to learn how this simple machine worked, how the carb worked, etc. I got the manual, I took everything apart short of the crankcase, put it all back together, had it running great and was feeling pretty good about myself until I ran into this issue. I ACTUALLY DID all of the things I listed, based on a combination of the manual and what I had read on the internet about bog down issues with these bikes.
I kind of wanted to do this on my own, but I broke down and asked a question on this forum and now I wish I didn't. Good night pal. Thanks for all the great insights.
