Here's the problem I'm having. My friends bike been sitting at my house for a little over a year and it was not started. He didn't put stabilfuel in it so the ethanol kind of jammed it up. I cleaned the carb as best as I can and changed all the jets. Now when I start the bike it only starts with the choke out and when I push the choke in the bike revs up and down and can't idle unless i hold the throttle a little and then dies. Also the header becomes glowing red for running about a minute. Any suggestions.

Clean the tank, petcock & the carb. " I cleaned the carb as best as I can" - Have the carb dipped or ultrasonically cleaned, sounds like it is still gummed up.

Update. I cleaned the carb and everything seems clean. I changed all the jets and now I think somethings wrong with the hotstart. When the bike is idleing it sounds like theres too much air coming in. When I press the hot start nothing happens. It's like the hot start is wide open. I changed the hotstart cable and plunger and still the same. Why would the bike sound like the hotstart is pressed and when I actually press it nothing happens? Also the bike gets real hot. Hotter than normal where the radiator hose is smoking.

Intake air leak.
