Black Cat help

What's up everyone, I'm new to the forum. Here is my issue. I have 2011 black cat about 6500 miles Island miles here on Hawaii. It all started when I was coming home from school. It ran fine that morning. But when I started it and try to pull off it lost power. I tried again and it lost power and died. So, I got it home and looked at everything and everything looked fine. But the problem persisted. Being no mechanics that work on this type of bike*PGO*.I'm on my own. So I got a new engine from the states put it in and I'm still have the same problem. I checked the the vacuum line and fuel line. When I sucked on vacuum line fuel came out of the fuel line. Remember I have a new carburetor and spark plug with the engine. Thanks in advance

With a new engine in and still the same issue, I am going to venture a guess that your problem lies some where in the electrical system.

I agree with Agrogodness. Focus on your electrical system. If the symptom only occurs in wet, rainy, humid weather, then the first suspect should be your ignition wire and coil.
