Default Need some help??

As you may read in my previous thread....I was taking the class....and I passed

I got my first bike a few weeks ago, but I haven't rode it yet. Here's why....

I bought it from a friend for a pretty good price. The problem is that he bought it brand new, but stopped riding it after 3200 miles.....and he never started it after he parked it in storage for 2 years !!! Knowing this we changed the oil and replaced the battery. However, I can start it with the choke turned on....but when I turn the choke off it dies. Also whenever I rev it dies.

I called a few places and they all said that the carburetor is all clogged up. I am pretty sure this is the case, but I don't know how to take it apart to clean out the carburetor. Since I am new to bikes I am sure I will need to have a mechanic to look at it. I don't want to have it hauled to the shop, so I am pretty much looking for someone to come over to do the work. PAID....of course. Anyone know someone local to OC that I can trust?
