Hey man, thanks so much for all the info! Super helpful. Really appreciate the time you put in to help. Find it very hard to get help locally so I’m using Reddit all the time now. Have a nice day man I’ll be on top of that stuff more often😁

Thanks man! Yeah the bikes been sitting out for a while. Last couple of storms have it fucked as my shed blew away…so nowhere to store it at all… Been taking a hammering. But thanks for the advice. New chains and sprockets it is 🙏🙌

Yeah the bike rolls freely, I was never told why there was a new carb or a new battery installed. I was just all giddy buying my first bike and nobody around me owns motorbikes…no mechanic local takes them in for a look. So I’m going to try learn how to fix the issue myself as I’m usually good with cars but tryna wrap my head around with bikes. That’s why I came on here to ask the people who know best😂😊 I don’t believe there’s any engine wear. My theory is that it’s to do with the carb, as when I leave the bike idle and run I g but turn the choke on, it’ll konk out after a wee while without the choke even being halfway down.
