Petcock working fine. Didnt check for the air leak around cyl yet. looks like it may have been a filter crumbling problem.
Thanks again. This site is awesome.

The petcock was fine. we found the air filter turned to dust and half of it missing. Prob dried out from the starting fluid (ether) used in the past. Looks like some particles got sucked up into the carb. We live in FL so we removed the air filter completely. I dont really drive on sandy dusty roads. Running good for now!
Also, TheBatman, my last name is Gouleven so gouliegirl sounds more fun!

People 50 / Please Help. keeps stalling

My 2004 People 50 has been stalling on me. Sometimes it happens at red lights but more recently has stalled on me while I had it at full throttle. Last time this happened my husband, aka mechanic, said it was running too lean and I had to add more oil to the gas tank when I fueled up (2 stroke). I didnt realize I had to add oil since the bike has its own oil tank (which never seems to go down much). He did some spark plug cleaning and decided to put in a new iridium plug. Been smoking more when I start up cause of the extra oil that I've been adding. Been running great for last 2 weeks.
Today while I was going about 55K/ph the bike stalled again. I could not get it to start again and had to leave it to get help. Usually, I can stick my finger completely up the choke hole to start it but not anymore!! I was told by a biker friend that my fuel line could have a crack from dry rought  (live in S FL) so air could be mixing. Also, the fuel filter might need to be cleaned. Not sure, myself. Please Help!!!
P.S.
My hubby just checked the filter and its clean :'(
