cleaned carbs sunday adjusted floats now i have an issue .
runs fun at idle or rev but when u ride it it cut backs real bad and have to choke it to clear it back up with choke on i can get her home. so what could be my problem. i checked timing its fine . and i noticed do to pulling choke up my motor heats up excessively
thanks

Running with the choke on should not make it heat up, since you are running richer not leaner.
Sounds like maybe a pilot jet problem.
Did you use a clear tube to set fuel levels in the bowls?
Is the timing advancer working freely?
Any mods to the bike like pods or headers?
I would also carefully check the diaphragms for slits or pinholes. That's what was making mine hesitate.

Did you move the clip on the jet needle to a different position while you had carbs apart? That will give that kind of performance.
