Hey guys, first post here. I'll get right to it.

The problem, The bike (92 xj600 US non Cali model) is only running on the kickstand. Runs fine, then as soon as I pick it up it dies.

What I did before the issue started, carb cleaning, replaced worn out float needles. Put it back together just the way it was.
Also replaced the fuel pump (was starting to leak), and filter. The tank is free of rust and full of fresh fuel.

I've never ran into an issue of any bike only running on its side stand. Everyone I talk to looks at me like I have a third eye. Has anyone ran into this, or maybe it's something not related to the carbs at all.
I'm out of ideas of what to look for.
