Water in your carbie some where.your filter has water in it. you have dirt in your carbie some where.
Good chance there is water in the slide after washing it.. Tis a pretty common problem with the okos, they're quite succeptible to water. Give it a day or so to dry out, and try again.
Next time ur washing it, put a zip lock bag over the whole carb n filter, and put a bead of silicon around where the cable enters the carby cap..

Maybe you put the clip on the needle in a different position to previous?

make sure you start your bike after you wash it too..
if its got water in the carb or maybe further...in the engine.
imagine what damage it is doin by sitting for several days...
all i can recommend is you pull the carby off dis-assemble it completely and clean it and blow it out with compressed air...including the jets
when re-assembling it make sure the float valve is working properly..

hey guys, its defently not water in my slide cause i have pulled the slide off and soaked it in fuel after 2 attempts at cleaning the carbie an still no luck! i have pulled it down 4 times and pulled all the jets out and blew them out with compressed air every time and it still does it! and nah i never played with my needle height at all! i normally do start my bike after i wash it but it was too late when i got home so i couldnt, could there be any chance its cause of my carbie slide has a bit of ware to it?? like as in the chrome has worn on the edges!

WD spray all the electrics and make sure there isnt any rust on the magneto.
also check your earths and spark plug..
and if you can, confirm your carby on another bike..

yeah it does seem odd..
but yeah you've confirmed it to be the carb at fault..
lets just run thru the basic's..
engine size?
mods?
jets installed?
needle height?
new spark plug?
sometimes the easiest things are overlooked, has happened to me in the past..

all good mate...
2nd clip from bottom is pretty fat.. and if ya havent changed the jets since you bought it then the main will also be too fat. they run 36 pilot and 100 main from factory..
but just confirm

yeah 100 main is border line rich on a 150.. 98 would be ideal..
id be dropping the needle and maybe the main and see if its the same..
and also what size was the engine you tried the oko on, or you didnt you only ried another carb on yr bike..
also have ya checked the float level, maybe try dropping it a mm or 2
