After trying that, report back and we can move forward.
I figured I what have to adjust the valves soon anyways so I will check the gaps and change accordingly.

This seems strange to be happening now because besides the bike running lean I have put over 600 miles on it and it would stay running. It does seem like the gas isn't making it to the carb either. I'm not very mechanically inclined but I am just making some observations.
