My bike doesnt want to stay running. Shell kick over first kick then die down without throttle. I recently cleaned the carb to get her running. Im thinking maybe the float is to high to low? Not sure, but she always peed alot and I got that to stop. I was broke all riding season and couldnt get my truck started so old girl been sitting but I tried to get her running a month ago and had this problem.

Even tho you said you cleaned the carb, I bet the pilot jet has still got enough varnish build up to make it run too lean at closed throttle. If you haven't already, you might want to check it out.
