Cleaned out carb best as I could one screw stripped on float res.. Emptied out old gas, changed old oil... If I let bike sit it will start for few seconds and die and then won't start back up.. Any help?

Why did you clean the carb? Was there a problem before?
Are you getting fuel to the plug.
If it's been standing for a while, it might be worth trying a new plug.

Yes it was sitting in the parking lot with no cover, and yes it's getting fuel petcock is working fine.. I'm thinking the carb is really dirty, couldn't get one screw (stripped) off the bowl to clean the jets.

So you never got the bowl off? Can you access the stripped screw with a pair of vice grips? Really clamp them on there, that'll get it broken loose.

Of you can cut a slot in the head with a hacksaw,to undo it. They are not normally that tight.

yes but doesnt go over 20mph, checked the airbox, and I made sure no air leaks... could it be the spark plug and coil?

Does it rev up good while it's on the stand? If it runs your coil and plug should be OK.
