When my bike is really warmed up, after 40 minutes or more of riding, it sometimes stalls when I open the throttle. t wil idle fine, but as soon as I open the throttle just a tiny bit, it acts like it's going to die, ,but If I quickly give it more gas, it keeps running. I've had the carb apart, cleaned it and checked the float height wich is ok. The bike is all stock and my mixture screw is turned out 2 1/2 turns. I read an earlier post about the petcock causing problems like this, but I'm not sure if mine is working ok or not. When I disconnect the gas line from the tank, gas pours out no matter where the petcock is set, however the only time I ever had problems with the carb flooding and overflowing was when I accidently left it on prime overnight. It seems strange that this only happens when the bike is really hot.
