My bike just won't run, it's amazing in every other aspect, it just shuts off the second I pull the clutch in doesn't even think to idle
I have a oko carb that comes with the dio performance zeda 80
 
Two adjustments to be aware of. Idle speed and idle mixture. Idle speed is just like it sounds, opens and closes the slide just a tiny bit to adjust the Idle rpm. Start with that.

Idle mixture - controls the air fuel ratio for Idle. On pwk and pe style carbs the screw controls how much air is let into the Idle circuit. Turning the screw in = less air = richer Idle mixture. Out = more air = leaner.

The size of the slow jet/pilot jet affects the fuel side of the Idle mixture. Too big or too small of a jet and you can struggle to get the mixture right with running too far out of adjustment. A good rule of thumb is if it takes less than 1 turn out from seated or more than 3 turns out from seated in order to get the idle mixture dialed in properly you need to go up a jet size for the former, and down for the latter.
