Default New engine!!!!

I accidentally ran my buggy without the air filter on....Dumb move I know, but it was an accident.. And believe me I'm not to happy about it. I cleaned the carb out with denatured alcohol. I also took the back plate off the engine and cleaned it the best that I could. I'm not sure what is going on now. But I cant get the thing to run right, before it was running excellent. I can get it to idle.....forawhile. Its like I have no low end to it at all.. Seems like it stutters and dies on take off. I have adjusted the carb back to factory settings and made lean and rich adjustments to it numerous times. Either I can no longer find the perfect adjustment, or I have something plugging a jet. Not sure what is going on. I'm ready to purchase a 1/8 scale buggy or truggy..(still deciding) I would like to get this buggy back up and running. Has anyone had this experience, maybe its just the carb..But maybe would be better off just sending the whole engine back.. Any ideas??????
