I had the bike up and running and riding but it doesn't seem to want to stay running now. I can't get it to idle for more than like 30 sec. I have adjusted the valves, had the carbs apart 3 times and messed with the idle screw to no end. It will idle with the choke on for a few min but if I turn it off it dies or will only idle a very short time. I have the exhaust pretty much open also. I'm more familiar with the Harley platform and I guess I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something...
