If it runs OK cold but dies when hot, sounds like it's rich,
though I can't tell from your description whether the choke
is still on or not.
If I had to make a bet, I'd wonder if you got the choke
back together right. When if gets hot and dies, what
color are the plugs ?
As a suggestion, it's really good to separate your
description of the symptoms from your description
of what you did to the bike.
Both descriptions are useful, but it'd hard to sort out
when you keep mixing the two of them together in the
same paragraphs. Separate lists of symptoms and
what you did would probably help you to get a better
handle on the problem as well.
