Default Engine Problem

Here's the problem...

Bike would not idile, kept stalling on me, so I bought the carb cleaner, threw some of it in with the gas and let it sit on choke for about 10 min. When I came back, there was smoke everywhere and the bike wouldn't start. There is still power, but when I press the ignition switch, nothing happens. I checked the starter relay, and there is continuity, but when I connect 12v to it, it will not click over. Is there something wrong with the engine, or could it be I need a new starter relay...or is it something worst? Thanks.
