Default drifter 1500 wont stay running

Ok have a drifter 1500 went to go for a ride but bat was dead happens so since i live on a hill figure bump start it and give it a ride to charge. Rode for a few hours all was fine got off to have cup of coffee come back bike is dead.

No problem get a jump start riding is fine first few miles then bike starts acting up doesnt want to take gas getting slower and feels almost like a cyclinder is missing. Now when i jump it it starts right away but either dies in a few minutes or dies soon as you give it gas any clues to where i should be looking for a fix

Welcome to KF,

kinda sounds like the ride is starving of fuel now. Good luck
