Check your air filter, throttle cable, vacuum hose from petcock, and did you use higher octane gas. Also check your spark plug. These are some of my best guesses. Hope it helps.

Are the rest of the fuses blown or still intact? You may have caused a voltage spike that took out the smaller fuses. I was not clear on whether they were still intact or not.

Another possibility...

You mentioned you have to hold the choke to "On" the whole time. Are you releasing it once the bike has run for a minute or two? Once it warms up a bit, the choke should be fully off.

You might consider one more thing. The fuel cap is not venting and after running for a bit, a vacuum is created in the fuel tank and won't allow free flow of fuel. Just another thing to check.

I don't see that carb listed on any parts sites, including Mikuni. Are you looking for a replacement or parts for it?

Check Partzilla if you need a replacement. Good luck with your project.
