93 883 dies once choke off
I recently got a 93 XLH 883, the bike sat for about a 1yr with the previous owner. The first thing I did was drain the fuel & clean the filter, bike has been running great. I've ridden it for almost 70 miles & today it started, idled fine, I turned it off for few mins then started it again & went to take off & it sounded like it was out of fuel. Ofcourse its not & fuel is getter into carb but now it won't start unless the choke is out, once back in it dies.
My thought is a plugged jet cuz the only thing I didn't do was clean the carb bowl of any setiment from sitting fuel. Any thoughts??
Thanks..

After removing carb & checking all jets, I didnt find any of them plugged. Nevertheless, gave a good cleaning & put things back together, fired right up. I suppose after cleaning the boot ring, it made a better seal. I should've checked for a leak b4 taking the carb off, then I'd know forsure I guess.
Thanks so much!!!
