float level too high?,symptoms sounds tad rich,usually helps cold starts,but too "fuelly" when hot,try lean out the idle mixture air/fuel screw?,hth :P

the motor is good it was rebuilt not long before i bought the bike. could it be the low speed stator coil or the plug coil. how do i measure where the float level has to be

check the readings out of the stator
sounds like it could be a low speed coil
common on this model ;)
