Would i be right in thinking it starts ok on starter jet or choke ? (whichever is fitted) and then dies when you turn that off unless you keep the revs up?

Have you tried adjusting the throttle stop as on my old DT/LC it works loose!!

Will it tick over on starter jet, like peatandyman said, If it will then it looks like a blocked pilot jet in the carb.
