I'd try jumping across the side stand switch connector on the harness side, and see what happens.

Ok, let me see if I have this straight...the engine will idle ok, but stalls when you try to get moving from a stop...silly question, but does it roll ok if you push it around? I'm still thinking this is a problem with the sidestand switch......Does it stop as soon as you put it in gear, or when you start to ease out the clutch

Well as soon as I try and take off... When I disengage the lever pretty much and even with a little throttle it'll stall out...it goes into gear jus when I take off

The fuel filter is inside the tank, connected to the pump. Does the engine stop as soon as you put it in gear?

Can it also be the fuel filter? I actually might be running a lil rich because when I changed the spark plugs I was told they were saturated and they did smell alot like fuel...??

The wiring diagram and the service manual are not helpful. Shows it's a 2 wire switch, on or off.....There should be a connector under the engine with the two wires in it. I would first try disconnecting it and see if the engine runs, and if it doesn't , jumper across the harness side connector and see what happens. I suspect the two poles must be connected, but there is NO information in the manual....

If the engine runs until you pop it in gear, and then stops..the sidestand switch is probably the culprit. I'll look at the wiring diagram for it and get back to you.
