bike runs for two three mins than stalls

Big Wheel
I bought my 2001 a month ago an had to replace petcock just to get gas flowing now it needs (canned) help to start and will run and rev steady over 2.5 grand for two or three mins then bogs an dies? This is my first bike an I am already out of my element.
 
A bit more info could be helpful. Was the bike running when you bought it (doesn't sound like it)? How long had it sat up? Sounds like you will likely need to completely drain the tank and do a visual inspection for rust. If there's rust then you'll need to deal with that. It also sounds like a complete carb rebuild is in order along with a new air filter. Good luck!
 
lite rust in tank bike was running when i looked at it then it sat for three months in 100' heat in AZ thats what killed the petcock
 
been searching for info on tear down an rebuild of carbs used to dealing with one carb not four

Yup... a classic article. Aside from the great advice on the forum, access to the Concourier archive is just one of the terrific benefits of full club membership. That's a lot of information for about a dime a day. :)
