Hey Cody,
>>> DO NOT "BOIL" a carburetor... that is NOT HOW YOU CLEAN A MOTORCYCLE CARBURETOR!!!!!!!! That is an old school, RED - NECK, backyard, UNQUALIFIED way to ATTEMPT to clean a carburetor!!!!
Take the carburetor to a QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL motorcycle mechanic and have him clean and set your carburetor!!!!
If your confident of a good spark, then your issue is fuel delivery. Try raising the slide needle by going down one notch on the needle. Jets and needle seats should be cleaned in a good quality carburettor cleaning solvent. Jets should be replaced if suspect. Check condition of reeds. Is the airbox and filter in good condition. Check for leaks around inlet manifold. Goodluck, cheers!
Change gearbox oil, install a new spark plug. Check for spark before installing the plug. Remove, dis-assemble, and clean the carb by soaking it in denatured alcohol for 15 minutes then finish with a can of spray carb cleaner. Wear goggles to protect your eyes from the spray.
In stall a new air filter. Remove the gas tank and clean it out. Install an in-line fuel filter to prevent trash from the tank getting into the carb. Use a can of spray starting fluid on the air filter to aid in starting.
The float in the carburetor is stuck. It will require removal and cleaning to provide a permanent solution. Try striking the offending carburetor with a hard object,(screwdriver handle or such) if the flow stops, that is the problem.
