When exactly does your bike fire? If my bike fires once, it won't start again til the cows come home unless I take the choke off. It's usually a one kick start it'll sputter then shut off if I can't flip the choke off fast enough during a cold start. Maybe your bike isn't fond of the choke either...after it sputters once try to cut the choke off then try again?

Another possibility is the float gap isn't set right or the float is rubbing on something. The float needle valve is very particular and was why I was having problems keeping mine running at first. I trimmed the way too large after market gasket, set the float, made sure it didn't catch or rub on anything with a slight bend on a float that was catching. After doing that my starting and running issues vanished. Aside from spokes suggestions there's my 2 cents.
