Check air filter.
Check carb float level.
Are you sure you know how the choke works?

Last thing - get a manual..........

Marvellous how the cleaning the plugs fixed a broken coil..... :-)

I have been messing with the choke a little too much. Haha, yeah. Miracles do happen :) ...also there's a screw on the carb other than the idle screw. I accidentally messed with that instead of the idle screw. Maybe that's it...

Although guessing and conjecture make life interesting, it can become very expensive. The manual will remove lots of guesswork and you will become a better person after reading it thoroughly.....

Really?

What percentage of the cost of the bike is that? Money well spent.......
