revere 600 engine problem

[redhelmet]

My old 1990 revere 600 is giving me a few problems. The syptoms are like water or dirty carbs but dont think this is the problem as fuel is running clean from fuel tap. There is a slight trace of white smoke from exhaust but not exessive. Bike will start up then cut out after a few seconds on choke but will not rev up. Any one got any ideals? The spark plugs are not oiled up and fairly clean for how long they have been used. Hope its not to serious . Help!
cheers

Could be a fuel or ignition fault….but probably
the first thing to check is the choke operation.
