New guy from Ontario,Canada, with a question

Hi everyone, I have been riding bikes forever and now my two boys are riding too. The oldest outgrew his first bike so I got him a Gio x31 250. It has been a great bike for trail riding. My youngest son outgrew his pw80 so I got him a 2012 Gio x33 140cc. It ran great all last summer and in the fall when we put them away I put fuel stabilizer in both bikes, ran them for a while and then drained the carbs. Last week I get them out and the x31 250 starts and runs fine. The x33 140 started up and idles, but could not get it to rev up, all it does when you give it throttle is bog, spit, sputter and sometimes back fire. So I take the carb off, take it all apart and clean it with carb cleaner and compressed air and it still will not rev up. I take carb off again and still no difference. Put a new plug in, nothing. Drained all the fuel out of tank and put fresh gas in. Check coil and cdi box and both are good. Check all wire connections, take exhaust off, no nests. I took the carb off a couple more times and used a whole can of cleaner on them. Do you guys have any suggestions? Do you think it is the carb? or electrical? The young lad is itchin to ride.
