My 1996 VF 750 C Magna starts fine with the choke open. After a minute or so as I reduce the choke and try to open the throttle, the engine just stalls out. Cannot seem to get the throttle to control

New battery, Fresh gas. Low mileage on bike. Have let it idle with the choke open for more than 2 minutes with same results. Reducing the choke even a little causes it to die.

I think you are mixed up. The choke is usually closed to start a cold engine and opened once the motor warms up. The choke is closed to restrict the air flow and make the mixture richer in fuel. You can't open a choke that's already open. It's stalling because it's starved of fuel. Either a blockage or the fuel pump is not supplying enough gas.

SOURCE: 1987 Magna VF 700 Bike stalls when its cold outside

just a common thing in cold weather, sometimes you have to ride about 5 miles with choke half out, till the engine warms up. try draining your carbys or cleaning them out, sounds like ti could be running abit lean and not getting enough fuel

It starts, but why doesn't it continue running?

Carburetor is not providing the correct amount of fuel. This can be a number of things. Try the fuel filter first. If you haven't changed it in a while, do so. If that doesn't solve the problem, then the carburetor needs to be rebuilt.

Why is the 1994 trickedout 750 Magna so badass?

Its getting two much air or jets clogged up, check the breather carb connection and drop bowls on carbs and check jets.
