New starter solenoid installed a couple of weeks ago, 93 octane used. It runs so ruff or stalls.
You could also have weak coil pack(s). Weak fire will cause misfire, backfire and bad idle.

Your problem is far more serious than something a little Sea Foam will fix. I would guess that your slow speed jet is clogged up or you have a major vacuum leak somewhere. Look for the vacuum hose that plugs onto the backside of the carb and see if it's come loose. But, if your bike is equipped with the vacuum operated petcock and it's evidently working, this is probably not the problem. You could have vacuum leaks at the intake to head junction as well. If the bike was allowed to sit up for an extended period of time, the gasoline left in the float bowl evaporated and left behind the "varnish" that has plugged up the jets. The carb needs to be completely disassembled and all the small passageways cleaned out by soaking it in a commercial carburetor cleaner.
Good Luck

I use 87 just like the designers of the bike call for. pros=you'll go faster due to a lighter wallet cons=your bike may blow up

The slow jets and adjoining passageways are still dirty. As painful as it may be , take the carbs off and clean the slow circuit again or it will never idle. Double check the fuel pump is working properly and the fuel filter is not plugged. One time it took me four cleanings to get all four carbs working on a Suzuki that sat for five years. Also make sure none of the carburetor boots have developed rips from age.

Replace your main fuse on the starter solenoid. That should restore power. If you are having to jump the starter at the solenoid you may need a new solenoid. Your starter button could be the issue, in that case you would have to replace the switch assembly. As for running only on high revs, you need to take your carburetors apart and clean the idle circuit (jets an body passageways) These machines are notorious for burning out there spark plug caps. The caps unscrew from the end of the wires and should OHM out at 5000. If they read higher or lower replace them.

I would say you have a blocked or damaged jet. I would strip down the carburettor and replace any badly worn jets and clean thoroughly. When refitting the tick over mixture screw , screw it home and back out about 2 1/2 turns. That will be somewhere near it.
Hope that helps.
