    My bike won't stay on unless I keep the choke about mid way(it will ride if i keep it there), if I start to take the choke off it will die. I'm assuming I have a vacuum leak. I also put some sea foam in the tank about half a bottle with a quarter tank full. How would I be able to fix the vacuum leak? Are there parts I need or is it a pretty simple fix?

    don't assume !!

    \vacuum leaks usually cause an increase in idle speed, but your problem might be clogged idle jets

    if there is a vacuum leak, try tightening the boot clamps, and inspect boots for cracks or damage.

    Was it running well before you seafomed it? One 16oz can of seafoam treats up to 16 gallons of gas. So if we do the math, your half can should do 8 gal, and you put it a 1/4 tank, which is about 1 gal...
