Default needing HELP

Alright guys I went out this last weekend to ride my 01 ec250, it started just fine but when I got to about mid throttle it would start to act like it was flooding out. (this did not matter if it was in nutral or in gear) It happened to be before but it was the powervalve arm had come loose. I have already checked that and it was still in tact. At one point when I was messing with it, I got it to act normal, but this was because I had the fuel line off and it was running out of gas in the carb. So that leads me to believe that my problem is the carb.

The last time I worked on my bike (which was last week) I changed the oil, cleaned the carb, and changed the clutch plates.

So is there any information on what might be going on, before the work that I did on it, it was running perfectly fine. I have check the clutch plates and they are put in correctly. Maybe I did something wrong when reassembling the carb.

Please Help.... I want to do someriding.

I think you have answered your own question. I would pull the carb back apart and use compressed air to be sure all of the jets and air bleeds are free then double-check the float setting. If you don't have an air compressor get a can of brake-Kleen from the parts store or a can of compressed air from Staples (or some other office store). Never use wire to clear the orofices as it can actually plug the holes by packing the gunk it scrapes.

thanks for the reply.... That is what I thought also, but I just wanted to double check with you all to make sure I am not heading down the wrong trail.... I will let you all know the outcome.

It wouldn't surprise me if you pulled the float bowl and found the main jet laying loose in the bottom. I've had those same symptoms, and found that result, before. At lower throttle setting where the needle is controlling the mixture, it'll still work with no main jet, but as the taper of the needle comes into play, so does the main jet, and if it's (the MJ) just a big wide open hole, you're gonna act like it's flooding out (because it is).
Just another quick, easy-to-check (through the float bowl drain plug) possibility.

Check that the low voltage wires are connected correctly.
Mine had come loose and eaten into the connection resulting in next to no open throttle power.
