Default 200x runs for 5 secs. then dies

I could use a little help. I have managed to get this thing to run, but it cuts out after about five seconds. At this point, I have replaced the pulse generator, K&N filter, spark plug, fuel line, had the coil tested, and cleaned the carburetor. When I drain the fuel bowl, it will start again and run for another five seconds, but I can kick til the cows come home and it won't do anything until I drain it again. Do I have a jetting problem, or something completely different? Thanks for your help.

If you pull the plug after it stalls is it wet? If it is you have a carb problem of some sort.

Your fuel valve could be pluged up and not flowing correctly.. Carb could have trash in it but usually that just makes them run terrible all the time, not after 5 min. Fuel filter clogged?? And.. is the choke working? Good Luck.

I took the carb apart and soaked the jets in carb cleaner for a couple of hours, put it all back together and it started right up. Not bad for a beat up 20 year old trike that hasn't been run in two years. I'll take that kind of reliability. It actually ran pretty strong. I was somewhat impressed for a little 200x. Thanks for all your help.
