Long story short: Bike has been stored wet for the last year (seafoam and StaBil with fresh gas).
When started, the bike starts and will idle on the choke as long as I keep the RPM above about 1500. Below that, it stalls out.
Regardless of the choke setting or RPM if I so much as touch the throttle, the engine dies.
The exhaust does not seem overly rich or wet like if it had a stuck float.
Tried letting it fully warm up: no change
Did a full shotgun on the carbs about 3 weeks ago, for the same issue. After the shotgun, the problem seemed to be gone and showed normal throttle response.
Started it up today and the issue is back, just as if I never had done it.
I am moving in 2 days and don't really have time to mess around with guesses and half measures. Any of you carb experts have some sage advise to get Mr. Max back and running, even if it is poorly. All I need is to get it 6 miles to my new house. After that I can tear into things and correctly remedy the issue.
Thanks in advance!
