Well, I just went out and started up the bike. Fired up fine, as i usually does. As it sat there idling, I sprayed carb cleaner around the vacuum hoses and the carb in general and didn't notice any increased idle speed. I tried this several times listening carefully. Again, as usual, the idles finally died down and the bike stalled. The bike is always a bit difficult to start after that, so I thought why not try the choke. I turned it all the way on and it fired right up. I let it run for a while and slowly took it off. Once the choke was off, it idled for a short bit and did the same thing, dying off slowly. Does the use of the choke help with your diagnosis any?

Also after watching youtube and reading around a bit, it seems that nobody has to give the bike any throttle to start it. It seems like I always have to give it slight throttle as I start mine up. Doesn't matter if it's warmed up or cold.
