I'm pretty much a noob when its come to mechanics...

I've done the prime and cap ''mod'' because yesterday my bike kept dying at all stop when i got to neutral, if i kept the throttle twisted a bit he won't die. and the idle sound weird

1-so if i got this right, by blocking the vaccum line and the vaccum pin from the carb, i get an manual petcock, i must put it to prime to run and on if i park the bike?

2- if it die again on idle, my petcock is ok?
so it's mayby a dirty carb, bad working float ok slide?

thanks guys
by the way i have a 98 savage and the mixture screw is uncapped, i don't know if it an important detail.
