My 1993 Ke100b kawasaki starts, but it dies after riding it for an hour or so, then it won't start for a while. I've put in a new carb, cleaned the air filter, put in new spark plug, checked to see if gas is running good, but still haven't found the problem. Can someone give me some help please?

Is it overheating? Is the vent on the gastank blocked and starving the engine for fuel? Might be the coil going wonky when it gets hot..... you can start by checking those.

-After the bike dies it won't start for a couple of days. could it be flooding?

A couple of days? That don't sound like flooding. That would clear up in a couple of hours or so, if that. A flooded engine can be coaxed into starting by holding the throttle wide open while turning over most of the time.

I would be looking at the ignition system, coil in particular, but check the cdi unit and pick-ups too. And all the wires for breaks and bad connections.
