[LARRY MARSH]

How low did you run it before refueling?

maybe it somehow messed up the carb, have you checked the idle control screw? It might have messed with that too.

might of sucked something(dirt etc) out of the bottom of the tank when you ran it out of gas.

unscrew the main jet and check for blockage.

i know the way you described it to us may not sound like a problem, but please check and make sure your oil is full

Sexyvicta's theory sounds pretty plausible. I would clean your carby very well all holes and orphaces. Use compressed air and small wire for the holes.

The fact that it ran beautifully 'till it ran dry, now runs like he//, is the answer unto itself. There was some crap in your jerry can which made it into the tank- and now the carb's eaten it. AFTER cleaning the carb, clean out the tank and install a fuel filter.
