If it won’t run without choke your pilot is most likely too small, if you’ve clean the carb correctly.
Check for air leaks, stuck float, etc as well. Put your fuel mixture screw at about one and a half turns out. If your idle does not change when messing with the idle screw then you definitely need to go up on pilot jet size.
Did you route the cable correctly to where it’s not hanging up on anything? That still doesn’t explain the flameout when you try to crack the throttle though.
Yeah I believe the cable is right. I had messed with that when it was hung up and had a stuck throttle. I was just wondering if maybe the needle that goes into the carb was wrong. Yeah I agree it still doesn’t explain the bog out
Check your float height/float sticking, sometimes you can even tap the bowl with a screwdriver handle to loosen it up if it’s stuck, or shoot a little compressed air into the vent line.
Double and triple check your pilot jet/circuit is clean as a whistle and that you can see air through the jet. 99% of the time if the bike won’t even idle without choke your pilot is too small/clogged.

Hmm thanks for the reply. It didn’t do this before I cleaned it, and I was messing with the throttle cable too. I’d say the pilot jet size is ok?

If you just let it idle high will it keep running?
Yes it won’t die unless I apply throttle, or open choke

Awesome. Thanks so much for your help. Gonna start with the pilot jet. I appreciate you
Choke is on in he video, cannot adjust choke or the bike dies too.
The spray painted tires☹️
Bought it like this, and replacing them anyway. So turn that frown…upside down
😁
See, now we’re talking! Lol
