i have a wonderful 99 z370 that allways seems to have some kind of carb issue. this year i went to start it up and nothing the plugs would get wet no start. pulled the carb cleaned it out put it back on ureka it runs. go from full to half choke still running all good right, nope. turn choke off and it dies pull the plugs wet. it seems to be an ilde circut issue. pulled apart the carb again check all the jets blow air through all the passages put it back to gether same issue. i can clear it out with a lot of throtlle but go back to idle it loads up and dies. cant figure it out any ideas would help.

did you check you needle and seat and if your choke is set properly? also a new set of plugs may help too

Have you noticed any gas coming out the overflow tube? If so, it could be a problem with the float adjustment or the fuel control needle/seat. It could also be your pilot air jet is plugged. Sometimes, just blowing them out is not enough, Try turning the pilot air screw in all the way until lightly seated, then back it out 1.25 to 1.5 turns (I think) Sometimes that will clear it out.

Drain the crank case in case theres some gas built up in there. Like he said check choke cable adjustment
