Hi guys,
My bike broke down recently due to what I thought was just an issue with the main switch assembly. That has been fixed.

Now I am seeing the power cutting out when I apply the throttle.
It starts fine and idles well, you can even ride it around in first with just a little throttle, but as soon as you try to give it more gas it starts to cut out. If you back off the gas it goes back to idle, but if you keep trying to apply gas it will eventually die and not start again till its had a decent break. (flooded?)
It sounds like a power issue, but why would the power be interrupted from applying the throttle?
(You can see the neural/power light cutting out when giving it gas in the video.
The carbs have been cleaned this year and a new pamco installed at the beginning of the season.
The sound is a little muffled, but you can hear it backfire and having trouble maintaining the revs.
