1 Idles, but won't rev... Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:07 am

What could be the problem if the bike will start and run, as long as the throttle and choke are not touched?
The bike starts OK, and idles perfectly, but when the throttle is moved, or the choke is moved to the top of the stop, it stops instantly.
Background: The ignition coils failed, (old brown type) eight months ago. I left the bike sit, and during that time the battery went flat. So, new Bosch coils were bought and intalled, and new battery fitted.
The coils were wired incorrectly the first time, with the red and blue wires interchanged. There was a fairly substantial backfire during that episode, but the error was corrected and the bike started. However, it now will not run beyond a nice even idle.
Any clues before I disassemble it?
