I had the same sort of issue last year and resolved it for the summer by:

1. Changing the gas
2. Replacing the boot
3. Cleaning the jets on the carb

It ran fine for a while then I quit riding for the winter and now I can't get it running again.

I've replaced the gas and cleaned the carb again, but didn't replace the boot. When the bike's auto-choke cuts out and the idle decreases the bike starts to sputter then dies. When I throttle up as this happens it dies even quicker. Any ideas? The sun is finally out in Seattle and would like to get back on the road. Thanks.
