you need to clean the carb if it has gotten dirty on the inside
from running without an air filter to running no fuel filter will cause that
dirt gets in those small spots and messes up the gas flow
im not so sure thats what you need, but the carb has to come off the bike, then take a pic of it and i will show you what to do next, you will need some carb and choke cleaner in a spray can

nope, not unless you let your gas sit for 1 winter

um i think it can still use a cleaning..
might have some shavings in there.

but thats just me..

im sure its fine, the only time you really need to is old gas sitting in there sticking the floats ect ect.

no there is also running with no air filter, or no fuel filter
those will get it dirty too
i guess there can be metal shavings in there, you never know with the chinese
