    list everything that the bike has done to it. does it run fine anything above idle? does it stutter, miss, etc when you punch it or under load? it may be as simple as an idle adjustment..... be specific on the symptoms.

    runs fine above idle, when it idles, it varies from no idle to about maybe 10 seconds, its fine otherwise,

    I don't know alot about these motors. But I went outside and cranked mine up. If the choke is left on it dies, might be that simple.
