88 EN 450, got it from a buddy and it leaked fuel. I found the leak was an O-ring on the fuel inlet T and fixed it. I also took the carbs apart and cleaned them thoroughly. I replaced the float bowl gaskets and thats it, everything else seemed to look really good. No gunk or chunks or anything at all from what i could tell. They seemed very clean. Anyways i put them back on and it started up after a short bit. I adjusted the idle screw, let off the choke and it runs great. Revved it up and it didn't sputter or bog down or anything. I took it for a short ride to see how well it would run and it killed after about 2 miles. I let off the throttle to stop at a stop sign and it just bogged and died. It wouldn't start up for a while after that. I did push start it and it started fine and ran fine. I also took it for a ride the next day and it did the same thing. I talked to a couple buddies and they're saying its flooding. Just wondering if this is an easy fix. Let me know if you guys have any questions or need me to fill in some more info. Thanks for your help.

Float levels set too low....carbs running out of gas. Also, the petcock is vacumn operated...make sure vacumn line from carb is good.

Oh funny everyone was saying it was getting too much fuel. I replaced the clear breather hose and the fuel inlet hose from the gas tank. The other two hoses left are the capped off hose and the other long hose on the right carb? I'll make sure that is clear, thank you.
