My ktm only starts when i pull the plug out put some gas on it and put it back in. And when it starts it only starts once and then it just bogs and shuts off? Could it be bad gas and oil?

BINGO!!! I think you've diagnosed your problem.....

Carb is probably gummed up too.

alrite well before i changed the gas i took the carb off sprayed carb cleaner in it. It started up first kick with the gas off. Then when i put everything back on turned the gas on started it once and it just bogged think now that i put new gas in i gotta spray more carb cleaner in?

Take the carb apart, spray carb cleaner in it and use an air compresser to get it out, check the fuel lines too. And something might be stuck in the jets.

k so its definatly dealing with carb? Because i sprayed carb cleaner in it when the gas was off it started up first kick then when i put everything back on and turned the gas on which was the bad gas and it got back in it just clogged it up again.

You need to change your gas before cleaning the carb! If it's stale gas then cleaning the carb won't do any good until you replace the fuel.

Take all the old gas out of the tank if you haven't already,take the carb back off,check jets for blockage,clean the carb back out,drain the fuel bowl,put a new plug in if possible if not clean the old one......

A stuck float causes gas to pour out the overflow tube until you turn the gas-valve off.

Did you get it running???
