I'd be interested to know what, if anything, you did that caused it to run badly ... or did it just start suddenly without you having done any mods?

This is a very interesting thread, did your dad buy this bike new? Is it used? Did some one else play with the carb?
Like it was ask before, it was running fine, then one day you got up and it ran like crap?

In that case the first thing I would have done is what you already did ...

.... drain fuel from tank and fuel bowl and replace with fresh fuel
.... clean the carb

As it's still running bad, I would now suspect the electronics.

The service manual has the process for verifying the ignition circuity. I'd follow it and see if anything unusual pops up.
