Default 2005 Kawasaki KVF 360 only runs with choke on

Hi everybody, new here!
Heres my issue, i have a 2005 Kawasaki KVF 360 (prarie) thatll only run with the choke fully on, and as soon as you try to give it some throttle it dies. It has the factory carb on it that was just rebuilt by my local kawie dealer. Does anybody have any other spots for me to look at?
Thanks in advance

Can be an ignition problem but more likely some dirt has got into the carb since the rebuild. Treat it to a new plug and check the regulator doesn't produce more than 15v across the battery when running at various revs. If that doesn't fix it, clean the carb out again.
