Stripped, cleaned and rebuilt carbs with new kits. The carbs were the worst I have ever seen for muck. Took a while and plenty of soaking and my ultra sonic. I did note, and thank you Suzuki, that new welch plugs were not provided, so i was unable to pull them. The motor starts ok and runs on the fast start. As soon as the fast start drops out she idles down and then dies. Ah you say, adjust the throttle linkage stop screw. Makes no difference except to make it rev higher above idle speed. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Could it be that the TPS is acting up? Yes I fiddled with the air adjustment, tried it in and out in different positions. It just affected the ability to start.

No need to trouble yourselves. Pulled the TPS and it runs just fine on the default setting. I should have tried that before bothering you knowledgeable gentlemen.
If you have looked, thank you for your time.
