CV carb will not idle

I have a 2000 FXR4 with 5100 mi. on it.Today while riding it would stall at every stop.The only way it will idle now is with the enrichment is knob pulled out about 80%.If I push it in it will stall.Any idea's or help will be greatly appriciated.

Adjust your idle up, via the idle screw.

Sounds like either something got messed with recently with the cables or with the carb.

If you keep using the choke enrichening system to keep it idling, you'll fould plugs soon.
