HELP! bike dies when using throttle

Pamela · 02-23-2012, 06:38 PM

Ok, so my bike was fine 2 weeks ago. I haven't been able to ride for 2-3 weeks, but went to start my bike and it wouldn't start. When I had the choke all the way open, it finally cranked over. It idled high like normal but not long enough. The idle died back then it quit. I tried again, then when it felt like it was going to die, I would roll on the throttle, it died immediately. Sometimes my bike if in colder weather hasn't warmed up it will die when rolling on throttle, but never like this. It dies completely, usually it will start to stall and if I let off the throttle and try again later it is fine. Help! I'm not even sure where to start to look for the problem.
thoughts?
thanks!
