Default 02 Suzuki Volusia Lacks Power

Hi,
I own a 2002 Suzuki Intruder Volusia that, unfortunately, was never winterized and has sat for over a year. A few weeks ago, after cleaning the spark plugs and changing the oil and filter, I started the bike up. It took a while to start, as expected, and idled rough for about ten minutes. After letting the bike warm up, I put the bike in gear and started to move when all of sudden the engine died. I figured, because the bike sat for a year, the carb was probably all gummed including the main jet. I decided to rip apart the carb and thoroughly clean it and all it's components. Sure enough, the jet was all gummed up. After cleaning everything with carb cleaner, I put everything back together, with new o rings and gaskets, exactly how it was prior to being taken apart. Once together, the bike started right up but once I put it into gear, the engine bogged down and eventually cut out.

At this point, I don't know what to do next. Any advice would be most helpful.

Cheers,
Cofilin
