Sounds like it's not getting gas. Certainly check your tank and petcock. I've seen pictures of clogged ones, not pretty. I think you can get a rebuild kit for them. You can probably just take it apart and reuse gaskets if they're not damaged.
Could be something else too. How do the plugs look? Can you check compression?

Look at fuel flow. I notice you're new to the forum. Does this mean you just got the bike? Has it ever run well for you or is this something new to the bike?

600 miles isn't that much. Maybe enough to shake loose some stuff in the tank and clog the petcock filter. I'd take a good look at that first. Do you have in-line fuel filters?
If the bike ran well for 600 miles and then developed problems (without sitting in-between) then you probably don't have carb problems yet. Start with the tank.

You need to resolve the rust issue first, it's clogging your carbs up. If your other tank is good that would be a cheap quick fix.Must read for carb tuners......http://www.factorypro.com/tech/tech_...m_engines.html

Easy fix for the rust issue if it's not too bad is to empty the tank, pour some BBs in and roll them around for a while. Then rinse the tank out with water, let it dry and spray some WD-40 in there to drive the rest of the water off the metal.

Next time I run it low on fuel I'll remember this method, was just thinking of going out and getting a new bb gun too how'd you know?R.I.P. RICHARD "BUCKITS" JACKSON IM GONNA R-I-D-E FOR L-I-F-E
