Clean the carb then remove the water trap bowl from the gas valve. Clean the bowl, any water in it? If water was in the bowl then drain one cup of gas from the tank. Any water or trash in the bottom of the container? Also, are you using stock NGK spark plugs or Autolite plugs. Use stock plugs. Clean the air filter.

Please rate this solution as "FixYa" if able. Thanks!

I have a 2004 kx 250 and it runs for about 10 mins on a new plug then cuts out

Sounds like a failing ignition coil or trigger. If you let it cool for a long while it will closer to ten minutes and the plug is dark and fluffy then its weak spark. Check the coil ground and wire condition also.

My bike wont stay running

What kind of bike is it? If it's a moped i would recommend to clean your carb. Also shaking the fuel tank should help.

The bike starts only with the choke on and stays runnin but when you let choke off the bike cuts out.Tried changing choke cable but still the same with a different one.

have you checked your idler screw on the side of the carb? if not it may be a blocked main jet, also check your air filter. try taking it out completely and running it. if it runs it may need replacing.

1200 zrx. starts but sounds like only running on 2 cylinders cuts out if you put choke of ?

Pull the plugs, if they are black dry and sooty those cylinders are running too rich which may be why it's cutting out when you put the choke on, it's getting too much fuel.

If they are wet and smell of gas you have no spark to those cylinders.

If it's carbuerated, then your idle jets or main jets are possibly clogged if the bike has not been run in awhile.

Could also be the coil is not firing to those two cylinders, check for spark first then check compression.

Check your choke cable adjustment also to make sure it's working properly.

Bike wont kick start or idle , it will coast

first drain the carby, then set your air mixture screw 2 turns out, from the fully turned in position. The starting proceedure is as follows, when the engine is COLD, turn on fuel, pull on the choke fully, and kick the engine over. DO NOT use any throttle, when the engine is cold, and the choke is on. Remember Choke on, NO throttle.
When warm, no choke, and a little throttle when kicking.

I have a 01 vulcan 800 classic. i have to manipulate the choke for the bike to run at high speed, or it will start cutting out. at 40 mpg. it will run fne with the choke 1/4 of the way pulled out.

You have the classic symptom of a dirty carb, has the bike been sitting ? What is happening is you are compensating for more fuel by activating the choke, you can try some "Techron" you get it at your local auto parts store its usually in the fuel injector cleaner area, this can sometimes dislodge and clean the jets, if that doesn't work then I would have the carburetor clean properly.
