What I can’t work out was it was riding really well up in till I pulled over and turned the engine off for 5 mins, from that point on it’s been an absolute turd, it’ll tick over happy as Larry all day (I hope Larrys happy anyway he’s not been on for a while) but literally as soon as I touch the throttle it bogs down and stalls.
If it has an auto choke deffo try pulling it first (if it has one it'll usually be on the side of the carb with a couple wires coming from it). That old V-clic I modified alot had one and it left my Mrs stranded in Amesbury once with identical symptoms. Testing the inlet manifold is easy too shoot loads of WD40 at it while bike is running, if the idle speed changes there is an issue. Any of those or dirt blocking the carb can just happen..... if it sat for ages could be old sediment and **** in the tank and just bad luck it shifted and caused a blockage when you stopped.
Yeah, remove it start bike, it may be harder to start and require you to feather the throttle a bit till warm. Once warm try cracking open throttle, if it works happy days. If not you need to remove it anyway when you pull the carb. When it's idling may as well spray wd40 all around the inlet as well, 2 birds 1 stone.
