Default engine wont idle

I have a 1994 honda cbr 600. It has been having trouble with hydrolocking and i figured out that the float in the carbs was stuck. when i got it unstuck, i replaced the spark plugs and I was able to drive it around for about 5 minutes and then it bogs down and dies...... is it still burning the left over gas from when it hydrolocked?

no, not hydrolocking. has your bike been sitting for a long time, if so, check for excessive gum in the carbs, clean/overhaul.

yeah it has been sitting for a little while. I appreciate the advice, the more I seem to let it idle and drive it around it seems to get better, so i bet what you are saying is right.
