Default Bogging down after getting knocked over.

An unknown ******* knocked over my F2 on its right side and ran away. The bike was hard to fire up and once fired up by playing with idle speed adjuster, kept sputter and die . So I took the carb off and cleaned it with carb cleaner and blew compressed air into all the holes.

Now the bike fires up right away but keeps bogging when I open the throttle.

What could be wrong?

When my bike was knocked over, it did the same thing.
For me, it turned out a ground wire got knocked loose somewhere.
Loose ground = missing sparks = bogging (more noticeable when throttle opens up aka more missed firings). Re-secured the ground wire, everything went back to normal.

I think you should also check to see if any gas got into your crankcase (smell the dipstick) if you haven't already, I was told that's a crucial thing to check after a tip over.

Bike goes over, fluids can mix and go places they're not supposed to go.

Pull the plugs. They coulda gotten fouled with oil when the bike went over. If so, clean them up. If they're still wet with oil take all the plugs out, grab a towel and hit the starter a couple times. With the plugs out, there won't be any compression and any gunk will blow out of the spark plug holes. Hence the towels

Good luck

Took the carb out and cleaned it twice with compressed air and cans of carb cleaners and now the bike runs strong.

Thank you so much for your advices, guys.
