Mine gave me the same problem a couple years back during the middle of summer and I was using it everyday at that time. It ended up being my fault. I had over oiled the air filter. I had been riding in more dusty conditions than usual which would require more frequent cleaning of the air filter which I did'nt think of at that time. I cleaned the filter and made sure I did a better job of getting the excess oil squeezed out. This helped alot but it still was'nt running right. I was in a rush so I did a very quick disassemble and cleaning of the carb. Nothing changed. I disassembled it a 2nd time. Much more slowly and careful. The first time I cleaned it I knew from earlier experiance that there is a diaphram, spring, and a very large hole under the choke plate and assumed that it would be impossible for that to be causing me my problems, so I never took that apart. This time I did. I found a thick yellow syrup like substance that I could'nt explain. My filter oil is red, I use fresh gas from the local station, and I use CRC cleaner which is clear and evaporates. Anyways, I put it back together and it ran perfectly and I never had to touch it again.
