So here we go- finally got the bike running (spark issues) and it runs beautifully. Nice clean sounding bike! Let it idle for a bit and warm up. Then flicked the choke off and bam dead. Bike won't idle with the choke off but it runs rough if I hold a bit of pressure on the throttle.
PO put on a new carb and new cone air filter and new exhaust! All hard to adjust together is what I hear. Anyway- manual is in the mail but any help or points to look for would be great!

If you can find the correct carb and airbox on ebay, you may have much better luck with it.
