Drea, you are obviously not afraid to get your hands dirty. Where is the bike from originally ?? Might help cause we have some pretty smart people from all over. I have no real experience with trouble shooting but I would suggest tracing the entire electrical system and looking for any corrosion with might be affecting the overall electrical performance. Clean up all connectors and coat with dialectric grease, it is nonconductive grease. How old is the battery ?? Do you have to charge it up before the bike will run. Maybe it will not hold a charge and causes the bike to die after a short time.
Also, I don't understand the meaning of the idle switch you mentioned. Are you referring to the small lever on the left side handle bar. The one you rotate towards you to start the bike. It is the choke( sometimes called an enrichener) and used for starting the bike when the engine is cold. The idle control is on the underside of the carb.
Think i will stop now and wait for the smart people to show up.
