It sounds like it was hunting for fuel then couldn’t maintain idle then died off ?
I would not advise this === but does it idle at 4,000 revs on choke or what is the max revs the bike can idle on choke ? (Don’t run choke for more than 5-10mins) as not to cook the bike up.
Before we touch other parts, lets look at the carb again , lots questions below but don’t panic (some of them have answers/tutorials in other threads on this forum)
- Pilot Jets = What size ? Did you clean them again? Could you see though them?
- Did you “air compressor” the permanent jet that is in the carb (it also controls starting)(Can’t be removed but blow air through it to clean it)
- Main Jets ? what sizes?
- Mixtures? How many full turns ? Still OEM ? (I hope it is OEM otherwise it will be an abyss!)
- Float height ? (If its off, the pilots won’t reach the fuel before the floats close too early because height is too small)
- Cleaning the carbs => Did you replace the “float seat gold and float needle” , as they directly control how much fuel comes in and do they still have their “MESH” protectors ? (have to remove the gold seat to actually see it)
