A crap load of times and then eventually it wouldn't start (crank but no fire), then I realized I was flooding the engine. So I wait 30-45min then I try again. The bike will usually start fine then but the original symptoms come up again.
I'm trying to hold of trying anymore until I try something new because I'm gonna kill the batter if I keep doing what I'm doing which clearly isn't working.

At least it starts and runs. When my carbs were massively plugged, the bike wasn't even able to start.

He'd rode it to my house about a good hour away and it seemed fine then. I also rode it around my neighborhood for 2 days (nothing hard though, and only for about 10 minutes). However after letting it sit for a day it just wouldn't work anymore.
Really think its the carbs? How do I go about and do what you suggested?
