So my bike was stalling again when coming to an idle. It just started happening out of no where. The bike was running great one minute, then the next thing I know, when I pulled up to a stoplight, it died on me. Any amount of open throttle would keep it running, but when I laid off the throttle it would die. I pulled over and tried to adjust the idle set speed screw to just keep the RPMs higher, but it didn't matter. Unless I was twisting the throttle, it just crapped out on me. What I did find was that it would run with the choke, which makes me think it's got something to do with the fuel/air mix and the !@#$#! carbs again.

The bike is stranded at work now. I'm going to limp it home tomorrow morning when there's less traffic. But if anybody's got any ideas that could prevent me from doing that, I'd love to hear 'em.

I'm contemplating just taking it out of commission for the season and starting the over-winter tear down I was planning a little early.
