Hi, we had a 2-jet Ibea for our watercooled TM K11b and we used to run one jet at 1 and 5 minutes and the other at 1 and a half - we were advised these were the optimum settings and they worked for us HOWEVER, the air cooled 100's are a little more temperamental and you usually have to adjust the settings every time you go out.
I would suggest you wind the jets out another 1/4 or 1/2 turn each (to richen them up) and see what happens - if it keeps running, you are going the right way but will need to find your optimum settings by trial and error.
Always err on the rich side (for obvious reasons) especially if you don't race and you should be seeing blue smoke when you shut off the throttle.
If it keeps dying no matter what you do to the jets, I would suggest putting a kit in the carb.
Hope this helps
