Default Carb rebuild failure, help please

Posted in carb section didn't get much reaction trying here

Pulled my carb and intake manifold, did the gaskets, put it back together, fires up right away idles really nice, roll it outside click it into first and the more throttle I give it the more it tries to die

in nuetral it idled fine and I can rev the engine no problems, accelerate pump works fine

Not sure if it happened with your carb. Carb cleaners make 2 mistakes very often:
They don't clean idle jet and holes next to throttle edge.
In your case:
check fuel level and keep clear tube attached while you ride.(that is kind of dangerous) you'll be able to stop any time and check fuel level. you can attach mirror and see level while riding (dangerous!!!)
