Default Electrical I think but dont know enough

Just bought a 84 RM250, cheap... It fires up on the first kick, doesn't idle (missing idle screw all together but i'll find one). The bike seems to run in waves of about 3 seconds, then tries to die, then runs, then ties to die. I tried to take it out, maybe to run it off but it does the same thing. The reason I think its electrical is that it doesnt bog just fades out like a kill switch. Any ideas?
I also opened up the carb, cleaned it out looks clear.
