Default CFMOTO Dies when warm

Having a weird problem on my 250cc CFMOTO.

When I cold start it, it runs great. no problems at all. Seems like it idles a bit fast, but no big deal...

I drive it around for 10 minutes or so - plenty of time to warm up, and it gets to where it bogs and dies. I can typically start it up and it'll idle low, but if I give it any gas at all it dies.

I let it sit for 5 minutes or so, then it starts back up with high idle, runs okay for about 15 seconds, then dies again.

Seems like there is something thats making it mad when its warm. Any ideas of something to try? I've tried draining the gas and putting new gas in it. I've also tried taking off the carb, cleaning everything, putting silicone gasket sealer on the intake and tightening everything back up - still same thing. Runs good for about 5-10 minutes then bogs/dies.

One other thing - I run no ethanol premium gas in it - so I doubt its the gas. Cold, it starts up very easy, while my other buggies have that e10 stuff, and after sitting for about a month, I have to drain the carbs in order for them to start.

any ideas?
