I have an 07 TTR 125L I bought from a friend for my wife. The bike had not been rode for a while. Bike originally would kick start fine within 1 or 2 kicks, idle like a champ, but any throttle would kill it immediately. Took the carb apart, was extremely gunked up and choke line was stuck inside the carb (stuck choke out). Bought a new carb and replaced the old one. Now the bike won't start or idle unless the choke is fully pulled. Changed air filter, and spark plug. Carb is seated in intake/exhaust ports with no leaks or suction issues. Bought a jet kit and put in 110 main and 22 pilot jet. Needle is set 2nd slot from pointed/bottom end. Found new carb didn't have a spring on the coasting enricher so put old carb spring in there. Throttle cable has been checked and is functioning properly. I'm new to dirt bike maintenance but everything I've read it'd seem to be the pilot jet not giving enough fuel. Stock pilot is 17.5 so the 22 jet i have in should be plenty. With the choke fully pulled it'll kickstart first kick and idle fine. Soon as I push the choke in even just a little bit it starts to die. I've messed with the fuel mixture screw, no change. I've adjusted to high idle and pushing the choke in still causes it to wanna die immediately. I left the choke fully pulled and rode around a bit. Bottom end is sluggish, requires high rpms. Top end is decent, a little sputtering/backfiring in 5th gear with throttle wide open. I'm at a complete loss as to what the problem is any input would be much appreciated. Would it be okay to just leave the choke pulled and ride it around like that if that's what it comes down to?
