Riding home the other day the bike died. Now it runs as long as the choke is on, but as soon as I close the choke it dies. All suggestions welcome.

Sounds like a clogged carburetor and you're having to use the enrichment circuit (choke) to get fuel into the engine. Time to pull it and clean all those jets out. I believe there's a post here that has a carb cleaning how-to.

Cleaning the carb is always a good idea if it hasn't been done. I use Berryman B-12 cleaner. Watch your eye when using the spray. The other thing to check is rust particles in the gas tank. Make sure your fuel in clean. A vacuum leak in another possible problem which will lean out the mixture. Also check the Coaster Enrichment Cover for problems. I had this issue and it essentially creates a vacuum leak. Good luck and ride safely. PS: Watch cleaning passages in the carb body. Don't use anything that might damage them like steel wire. A rebuild kit might be indicated.
