Default wants to die at low revs

hi, i've just got my bike running again the bloke that did it for me said it was wrong size gap on the spark plug but he wasnt sure what gap it should as i havent got a manual for it he also cleaned the carb out, and changed the air/fuel mixture he got it running for me but shortly after, when i slow down in any gear and then go to give it some revs again it doesnt want to go and splutters and has zero power and then wants to cut when i stop. maybe the gap is wrong or the mixture is i dont know any help please,, cbr 125 r 2004

I am not filled with a lot of confidence by this statement. If he doesn't know what it's supposed to be, how can he say it was wrong ? First thing i'd do is to see if I could get my hands on a shop manual. Adjusting the A/F mixture just because, is usually not a good thing. See of you can get the manual and start checking on some of the specs for proper adjustments.

hopefully i can get a manual sometime this week and check to see what the gap should but i'll wait until i get a new plug, denso iridium, and then maybe look at getting the mixture looked at again thanks
