Everyone thanks for the help in my last post.

After restoring flow to the carbs and the cause being a bad main fuel line the bike starts.

This is my new issue.

Bike starts every time with choke.

Bike idles just fine with choke on and responds when a little throttle is applied but not more than a little.

As soon as choke is turned off bike dies.

At half choke bike will run but if any gas is given it dies.

I can get the choke a little more than half way off and bike will idle but if any throttle is applied it dies.

I took it down the street with choke on and bike surged. I tired to ease the choke off when it was was going but dies instantly.

Can anyone help me through this issue?

Again thanks so much for the help in my last post it was because of your help i made it this far.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Have you already cleaned your carbs? If not go ahead and clean them then set your mixture screw to the manual's stock recomendation.
