Default Gy6 idles at low speed and then dies too

Just like the previous post, mine cranks, ides for about 15 sec and dies. It dies if I give it any gas/accelerator at all.

I just bought it used, so have no history on it. Baja reaction 150. Dogs ate the wiring, so i rewired the bad spots. Almost positive everything is correct because i was able to match all wire ends ( ex yellow to yellow, green to green, etc)It didn't even fire when I got it.

I pulled the carb and cleaned very well. The float looked a little off, too angled but i left it alone because I didn't know the setting. Put it back on and it fired right up and idled. I went to bed.

Next day, I cranked it again and it idles for about 15-30 seconds and then died. Keeps cranking back up but if I give it gas, it bogs down and dies immediately. Also, after many cranks, it idles less and less, maybe only a few seconds after it warms up.

I pulled the carb again cleaned again, adjusted the float to parallel to the body because I saw that on a forum somewhere. No change in problem.

Help please. It seems too rich on the surface, but could be a cdi, choke, or another electrical problem. I've been over wiring and can't see anything apparently out of whack.

Problem exists with air box hooked up and with air box removed.
