Default Got me!!!

Hi my name is Ernie and my Dad got a Suzuki gs650gl x model. We have cleaned the caburators and rebuilt them and had the motorcycle shop check them. Then i also put in a new stator and retifier, new battery and rebuilt starter. The problem is that the bike is hard to start. If you spray it with starting fluid it cranks up and runs great. Dad rode it 25 miles one day. If you shut it off it won't start back up. It kind of bog's down. The kill switch works fine. It just acts like it doesn't seem to get the gas to start. Check the cyclinder's and the are all over a 100 to 150. Any idea's would be great to get this to start when cold or hot.

Thanks ,
Ernie
