Question
This is a new bike (243 miles) and it won't start without starting fluid shot (must have choke off). Once it starts and warms up at 2000 rpm  it will run with choke slightly on. When choke is released it dies. Have removed carbs and cleaned jets twice, changed gas and inspected everything - it is new, looks new and this all started when it was stored for a year (with gas removed). The carbs look antiseptic clean - what should I try next?
Thanks

Answer
