To start the bike in wuestion is a suzuki gs500e from 1990.

I have recently installed new carbs and have had them working perfectly allowing me to attempt an mot of which i failed.

Now that these failures are fixed i need to get the bike to run, and i can, until the bikes begginignt o warm up when it appears the right hand cylinder stops getting fuel.

Now luckily i have a spare carb which i can fit but im wondering what else could be the problem?

I've cleaned the carb and obviously it works but after a while it begins to bog when revved and then wont start after, however spraying easy start into the carb lets it run for a short while.

Any suggestions?

If it means anything the rhs cylinder is getting much hotter than the left, i also have a spark in both cylinders and fuel to the float bowls. the carbs are balanced too.

Edit: i've had it start on the choke a couple of times after this stalling/bogging although it wont come off the choke without stalling.
