Bought the bike with a new carb installed. Only starts and runs with choke on. Idles great, shuts off after a while and won’t start back up unless it sits for a few hours. Any advice?

 

This bike is notorious for carb issues. However, once you get it cleaned out, it usually will run/start/idle fine. You mention a new carb..is it oem new or aftermarket new? Either way, I’d start with with spraying carb cleaner while attached. If they doesn’t work, you’ll likely need to pull the carb and do a cleaning.
