If not already done, should change oil and filter before running the engine, or should say "before ruining the engine.

Good Fortune! :)

"....But it doesn't like to rev up. When I try to rev it up, I have to do it slowly or it will die, and even then it doesn't increases rpms smoothly. It will sputter and want to die....."

you mentioned possibly using PODS. Are you using the PODS? .... in which case you will need to change the carb jets to get enough gas to go with the increased air. Or are you using the old airbox and an air filter? The original airbox and filter may be a good way to start.

First you should do what Patton just suggested and change the contaminated oil

Sounds like you are making progress and learning at the same time.
Good luck

I just finished breaking down the carbs, and cleaning them. There was a bunch of s*** in there. The air has to be my other issue. I am using the pods, I didn't know it would effect it that much. But now I might have a even bigger problem. I ran the bike for a good little bit "15 minutes" before I realized it has gas in the oil. I think I might of swelled my pistons rings. It started to turn over slowly, it may be the battery...... but it could also could be the motor.

If the bike was idling or running for 15 minutes without moving then it may have overheated causing it to stall. Worst case scenario = seized. These air cooled engines need airflow to keep cool

I would suggest you change the oil and try again tomorrow when the motor has cooled. Fingers crossed
