Random stalling issue

So the last few times I've taken my bike out for a spin whenever I pull in the clutch, it will randomly stall. But it will start right back up. Sometimes it does it sometimes it won't. My guess is a carburator issue. It has the carburator with the auto choke on it and whatever stock jet it comes with. I pulled the spark plug out when I got back home while the engine was still hot and its showing a light tan brown color which from what I understand means the engine is running good. Any other suggestions on what could be causing it?
 
Years ago, I remember a couple of bikes had a problem with shutting off when the clutch was pulled... It had something to do with the wires for the CDI being zip-tied too tight to the frame near the engine... It made zero sense, but after loosening the ties & double checking the connections, the problem went away.
 
I do have all my wiring connections wrapped in electrical tape, but I'll check my wiring connections to see if it helps. I did recently get a new carb for my bike. Took it out for a quick spin today for the first time with the new carb on it. Seems to run REALLY good. Took it on like a 30 minute ride and so far it didn't shut off once on me when I pulled in the clutch. It looks to be a clone of the Speed carb. Seems to run MUCH better with it. Took the plug out to check it after my ride while engine was still hot and its a brownish color so engine seems to be running really good with the new carb. Only thing I haven't tested on the carb is if the jets can be swapped. I hope so. Clip on the needle is in the middle mark. Seems to have a LOT better torque vs the carb with the auto choke on it. This is the link to the carb I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D56L37VS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
