was running fine then i went over a little jump and now it wont stay running without the choke on. it will start up and run for about 30 seconds then kinda sputters and dies. i m not very experienced working on the thing and i dont have a manual. to me it seems like maybe i jarred the carb loose from the rubber booty things that hold it. if it were sucking air from around the the carb would that make it die like that. any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like the engine is not getting any fuel. Check the carbs, the pipes, taps and the petrol tank for any blockages
