As soon as I put the choke out it dies instantly.

I tried adjusting the idle speed to no avail. Is this a carburetor issue or something else? I noticed when I was riding it rode fairly rough.
My TBR7 did the same exact thing on all counts. Smoked and stank for a few minutes but came right out of it. Runs without dying on half choke, and when fully warmed up always have to adjust the idle down (And up again when cold) which I guess is normal too. The 88 jet is too small - I'm waiting on some bigger ones.

Still having run half choke with your Mikuni 110 main seems odd though. Maybe mixture screw adjustment?
