Wont stay running

I just came back from a month long trip.

I jumped on the bike the other day, it took a couple times to start but did eventually go though. I let the bike run for a little bit.

I went out for a little ride. I noticed that when i was sitting idle the bike would start to die. If i didnt keep feeding the engine gas the bike would start to die.

Got home and let the bike sit. Came back a little later. The engine popped and white smoke came out the air intake. I removed it to see inside, and there were a bunch of burns on the inside of the case.

At first the bike would at least run for a little while when i started it then it would die, when i didnt feed the engine, now it will start up and pretty much die instantly.

Here is a video of the bike when it would at least run for a little bit.

Any thoughts? Thank so much for the help, because it is needed.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Not sure where Dixie is but it's customary (and you get much better responses) if you go to the "New to the community" area and introduce yourself.

I can't help you with your problem but there are many here who can.
