Hello
My name is Scott.
Last fall I purchased a used 1986 ls.
From the searches I have done nothing seems to address this problem.
My bike starts fine from cold...idles then dies.Al most imediately
Is there a fix for the mech challenged fireman?
Great site with lots of hepful hints for my thumper.

Maybe its the acme of foolishness but describe what you do when you start the bike. step by step. To include what you do prior and after the engine idling. The reason being that since its starts all the basics are obviously present.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

Oke, this gives us more to work on.
You have fuel and spark, so that's allright.

Don't push in the choke to early. Let it run for a minute os so.

When you play with the throttle, does it rev-up?

Maybe the idle RPM is a little too low. Adjust to 1000-1100 RPM when engine has warmed up.

Tip: Spell petc0ck with zero i.s.o. an O, that's to confuse the spellchecker
