Guss80special

Hi. Looking for some advice for my 1980 special. I road my bike yesterday after 2 weeks away. started fine and idled great with no choke. 10 min into the ride it stalled. I could only get it going by keeping the throttle up high. Lots of minor back fires. Barely got it home by feathering the clutch a lot and lots of throttle.
Only thing i changed in the last 2 weeks was to install a non vacuume petcock. Fuel delivery seems fine, and I have tight bung caps on both manifolds now that the vacuum line was removed from left side.
Plugs look different now though. They are usually blackish. They actually looked better. Now. Almost tan. But now the bike doednt run properly. It does start on full choke, but dies again with choke off. I tried with air filters removed, gas cap open. No diff. Battery showing 12.34. Do you think maybe the Tci or coils?
I'm considering putting my old petcock back on?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. G
