Hello everyone,

I've been having trouble with the idle on my bike, which is my first one. Every time I come to a stop like at a stop sign, red light, or something like that, the engine will die and I have to start up again. It will also die if I pull in the clutch, so basically when it stops moving it will die. I've been digging around and I think it might be because of an air leak. Any ideas on how to fix it?
 
To test for a air leak you can spray down the intake manifold gasketed areas where the carb claps on and engine side with starting fluid and see if it revs higher. Or you could just replace the gaskets on the intake manifold, it proably cost just as much as buying a can of starting fluid
What carb do you have?
Fuel:Oil mix ?
Average temp outside currently?
High or low elevation?
Which bike kit?
