I just got this bike after it sat for 18 yrs. I cleaned the carbs and emptied all the old gas. After I put the carbs back on it won´t stay running at all with the choke fully in but it will run with the choke half-way out or fully out but it has to Idle at 6000rpms to stay running anything less and It shuts right off no hestitation or anything just off. Any answers or what to do please help.
